From: Daniel P. Berrangé <berra...@redhat.com>

The 'xgmac_enet_send' method has a 8k byte array used for copying
data between guest and host. Skip the automatic zero-init of this
array to eliminate the performance overhead in the I/O hot path.

The 'frame' buffer will be fully initialized when reading guest
memory to fetch the data to send.
