If we can receive positive test feedback by January 8th, we can proceed
to submit the patches for kernel SRU review in an attempt to make the
upcoming kernel SRU cycle starting on January 10th.  Assuming the
patches are accepted for SRU and land in the upcoming SRU cycle, the fix
should be available from the -updates pocket by January 30th.

Bug description:
  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.
