> Add support to the e1000 igb driver for the new API to force free consumed
> buffers on Tx ring. This API is independent of the tx_rs_thresh setting. With this
> API, buffers should be free even if tx_rs_thresh is not met.

> e1000 igb driver does not implement a tx_rs_thresh to free mbufs, it frees a slot
> in the ring as needed. However, it could be implemented at some future date.
