We can.

For good path, yes.

Yes.

This is tx mutex, an optimization here: both rx socket and tx ring is
polled. So there's no need to tx notification anymore. This can save
lots of vmexits.

It disable the tx notification instead of rx.

Same as above, tx virt queue is being polled here.

And still the same, it enables tx notification and eliminate the window
if a new tx buffer is available.
