> drain_eth_rx() uses rte_vhost_avail_entries() to calculate the available
> entries to determine if a retry is required.
> However, this function only works with split rings, and calculating packed
> rings will return the wrong value and cause unnecessary retries resulting in a
> significant performance penalty.
> 
> This patch fix that by using the difference between tx/rx burst as the retry
