No idea.. Maybe there's some extra delay caused at the Ethernet
controller fifo or something with small packets.

There are some DMA examplpes in drivers/net/ethernet/smsc, but
I'm not sure if they use the include/linux/dmaengine.h API.

Ideally you'd have one of the external DMA request lines muxed
to trigger DMA transfers. Those are the sys_ndmareq[0-5] lines.
But if those are not wired, you'll have to use the Ethernet
driver interrupts to trigger the transfers.
