> Move the check if the Hw Tx ring is full to outside the send loop. Currently it
> is checked for every single descriptor that we send. Instead, tell the send
> loop to only process a maximum number of packets equal to the number of
> available slots in the Tx ring. This way, we can remove the check inside the
> send loop to and gain some performance.
