Xiao needs to use such mechanism to send some special packets
(RARP packet) in the interrupt handler to implement the GUEST
ANNOUNCE feature.
To avoid the contention between user's Tx threads and the
interrupt thread. He needs to pause user's Tx threads (by
reusing the existing 'started' flag in `virtio_hw`) first,
and call tx_burst() to send the RARP packet.
He already provided the pause() and resume() functions, but
the implementation of sending the RARP packet (add a field
named as `rarp_buf` in `virtio_hw`, and check it in tx_burst()
functions) is too specific. So I just suggested him to give
rarp_buf a more generic name and provide a simple wrapper of
tx_burst for internal use:

Is it OK to you? Or do you have any other suggestions? Thanks!
PS. The latest version is v5, below is the link:
