When running the VDE backend with 2 uml instances and running iperf between them, the vde_send() function often returns EINTR. I noticed that this is accounted for in net_user.c via the use of the CATCH_EINTR() macro. Thus the following patch uses the same approach for calls into VDE. It could be argued that the VDE library itself should handle EINTR, but this patch will work with older (or current) versions of VDE. This patch was created against 3.0.3.
