Public bug reported: hv_netvsc: Use the xmit_more skb flag to optimize signaling the host Based on the information given to this driver (via the xmit_more skb flag), we can defer signaling the host if more packets are on the way. This will help make the host more efficient since it can potentially process a larger batch of packets. Implement this optimization.
