I tested it successfully on cubieboard 1GB, on top of kernel 3.10-rc3,
nfsroot (debian wheezy)
I also added in sun4i-a10-cubieboard.dts
phy0: ethernet-phy@0 {
 reg = <1>;
},
like Emilio suggested.

running an iperf, there's some good perfs !
iperf -s
------------------------------------------------------------
Server listening on TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 85.3 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[  4] local 192.168.1.10 port 5001 connected with 192.168.1.232 port 38169
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  4]  0.0-10.0 sec   112 MBytes  94.1 Mbits/sec

That's great ! with this patchset, we can now run a server with a
vanilla kernel ( who needs more that a serial port and ethernet,
really ? ;) )
