For mvneta, you can expect the target to have between 512Mbyte to
3G. You can take a look at the DT files to get a better feel for this.
All of it should be low enough that it is DMA'able.
These SoCs are often used for WiFi access points, and NAS boxes. So i
guess the big memory usage on these boxes is the block cache for a NAS
device. So if you want to see the impact of the driver using more
memory, see if disk performance is affected.
