From: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@xxxxxxxxxx> If you do e.g. "set_link virtio.0 down" and there are packets pending on the tap interface, we currently buffer a packet and constantly try and send it until the link is up again. We actually just want to drop the packet if the NIC is down. Upstream qemu already does this, we just differ because we buffer packets from the tap interface. [aliguori: rebased this patch on stable.
