[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] virtio: tx with can_push when VERSION_1 is set

[Pierre Pfister (ppfister)]

Current virtio driver advertises VERSION_1 support,
but does not handle device's VERSION_1 support when
sending packets (it looks for ANY_LAYOUT feature,
which is absent).

This patch enables 'can_push' in tx path when VERSION_1
is advertised by the device.

This significantly improves small packets forwarding rate
towards devices advertising VERSION_1 feature.
