MMIO exits are more expensive in KVM or Xen than in QEMU because they 
involve, at least, privilege transitions.  However, MMIO write 
operations can be effectively batched if those writes do not have side 
effects.

Good examples of this include VGA pixel operations when in a planar 
mode.  As it turns out, we can get a nice boost in other areas too.  
Laurent mentioned a 9.7% performance boost in iperf with the coalesced 
MMIO changes for the e1000 when he originally posted this work for KVM.

We're currently ignoring the e1000 VLAN tagging, stripping and filtering
features in the e1000 emulation.  This patch adds backing for the
relevant registers and provides a software implementation of the
acceleration, such that a guest can make use of VLANs.

This is mostly (only?) useful for a guest on a bridge (not user mode
networking).  The only caveat beyond that is that you need to make sure
the host NIC isn't doing it's own tagging, stripping, or filtering.
This generally means the host NIC on the bridge should not be part of a
VLAN.

e1000_receive() has code to raise a receive overflow interrupt when the receive
buffer head and tail match. However, with the present implementation of
e1000_can_receive(), this code is unreachable -- and etherboot breaks as a
result.

Previously, all data descriptors used TSE context descriptor by default,
It's not correct, per spec, data descriptor uses TSE bit to indicate
whether use TSE,
Legacy data descripter never use TSE.
This patch fixed this bug.

This patch fixes endianness issues in the e1000 nic emulation, which
currently only works on little endian hosts with little endian targets.

Byte swapping does not depend on host endianness, so this patch remove
the use of cpu_to_le32 and le32_to_cpu functions. It depends on the path
from the CPU to the device, which is currently and *wrongly* implemented
in Qemu as a byteswap on big endian targets. This patch does the same
as in other devices emulation as all the currently implemented targets
work with this implementation.
