[PATCH 19/31] hw/net/rtl8139: skip automatic zero-init of large array

[Daniel P . Berrangé]

The 'rtl8139_transmit_one' method has a 8k byte array used for
copying data between guest and host. Skip the automatic zero-init
of this array to eliminate the performance overhead in the I/O
hot path.

The 'txbuffer' will be fully initialized when reading PCI DMA
buffers.
