[PATCH RFC] virtio_net: enable tx interrupt

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

On newer hosts that support delayed tx interrupts,
we probably don't have much to gain from orphaning
packets early.

Based on patch by Jason Wang.

Note: this will likely degrade performance for hosts without event idx
support.  Various fallback options are available, including
orphaning conditionally.
Testing TBD.
