introduce mitigation for the calling of an interfaces start routine.
decent drivers prefer to have a lot of packets on the send queue so they
can queue a lot of them up on the tx ring and then post them all in one
big chunk. unfortunately our stack queues one packet onto the send queue
and then calls the start handler immediately.
this mitigates against that queue, send, queue, send behaviour by trying to
call the start routine only once per softnet. now its queue, queue, queue,
send.
this is the result of a lot of discussion with claudio@
tested by many.
