Hang on, why is the host consuming the request immediately? It
has to write the packet to tap, which then calls netif_rx_ni so
it should actually go all the way, no?
The host writes the packet to tap, at which point it is consumed from
its point of view. The host would like to mention that if there was an
API to notify it when the packet was actually consumed, then it would
gladly use it. Bonus points if this involves not copying the packet.
