[PATCH 2/9] vhost_net: tx batching

[Tyler Hicks]

From: Jason Wang <jasowang at redhat.com>

This patch tries to utilize tuntap rx batching by peeking the tx
virtqueue during transmission, if there's more available buffers in
the virtqueue, set MSG_MORE flag for a hint for backend (e.g tuntap)
to batch the packets.
