net: pktgen: packet bursting via skb->xmit_more

Browse Source 
This patch demonstrates the effect of delaying update of HW tailptr.
(based on earlier patch by Jesper)

burst=1 is the default. It sends one packet with xmit_more=false
burst=2 sends one packet with xmit_more=true and
        2nd copy of the same packet with xmit_more=false
burst=3 sends two copies of the same packet with xmit_more=true and
        3rd copy with xmit_more=false

Performance with ixgbe (usec 30):
burst=1  tx:9.2 Mpps
burst=2  tx:13.5 Mpps
burst=3  tx:14.5 Mpps full 10G line rate

@ -99,6 +99,9 @@ Examples:
pgset "clone_skb 1" sets the number of copies of the same packet
pgset "clone_skb 0" use single SKB for all transmits
pgset "burst 8" uses xmit_more API to queue 8 copies of the same
packet and update HW tx queue tail pointer once.
"burst 1" is the default
pgset "pkt_size 9014" sets packet size to 9014
pgset "frags 5" packet will consist of 5 fragments
pgset "count 200000" sets number of packets to send, set to zero
