net: virtio_net: notifications coalescing support
New VirtIO network feature: VIRTIO_NET_F_NOTF_COAL.
Control a Virtio network device notifications coalescing parameters
using the control virtqueue.
A device that supports this fetature can receive
VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_NOTF_COAL control commands.
- VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_NOTF_COAL_TX_SET:
Ask the network device to change the following parameters:
- tx_usecs: Maximum number of usecs to delay a TX notification.
- tx_max_packets: Maximum number of packets to send before a
TX notification.
- VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_NOTF_COAL_RX_SET:
Ask the network device to change the following parameters:
- rx_usecs: Maximum number of usecs to delay a RX notification.
- rx_max_packets: Maximum number of packets to receive before a
RX notification.
