    igb: Don't update TDT upon very packets transmitted
    
    The TDT is updated only after certain amount of TX descriptors are
    added to the hardware TX ring.  The default value of the amount of
    TX descriptors are 8.  This value could be further tuned by per-device
    sysctl node hw.igbX.tx_wreg_nsegs.
    
    CPU usage when transmitting 18bytes tiny UDP datagrams @1.48Mpps with
    82575 on AMD970 (3500Mhz) are reduced from 55% to 38% with the default
    value.
