ACK, the host lets us know buffers are consumed and new buffers have
been added to the pool so that we can start sending more data.

Before this patch my tests took 16m18s to run.
After this patch my tests take 1m17s to run.

Both tests done with just one buffer made available in the virtio-queues.
