From: Neil Horman <nhorman@xxxxxxxxxx>
According to unisys, the s_par hypervisor has a bug in which it never
triggers an interrupt. That makes the visornic effectively a 2ms poll
loop. In order to just have the rx thread shceduling a napi poll every
2ms, lets instead give it the chance to check the response queue for
data before we schedule. This helper provides that functionality
