Michael Brown b2c7b6a85e [intel] Push new RX descriptors in batches 
Inside a virtual machine, writing the RX ring tail pointer may incur a
substantial overhead of processing inside the hypervisor.  Minimise
this overhead by writing the tail pointer once per batch of
descriptors, rather than once per descriptor.

Profiling under qemu-kvm (version 1.6.2) shows that this reduces the
amount of time taken to refill the RX descriptor ring by around 90%.
