I used dropping packets in high level to slow down TX. I am still
thinking what's the right the approach here. 

Requesting guest notification and extra interrupts is what we want to
avoid to reduce VM exits for saving CPUs. I don't think it's good.

By polling the vq a bit more aggressively, you meant vhost, right?
