I missed a couple of details while reviewing the original version, the first
one being mlx4_post_send()'s return value is still documented as updating
rte_errno in case of error, it's not the case anymore after this patch.
Please see below for the other one:

While minor, this change has nothing to do with this patch, right?
I think it can slightly degrade an application performance as it removes the
guarantee that subsequent code only needs to be run if there is at least one
packet to process in case the TX ring is constantly full (SW faster than
HW).
Can you remove it?
