sunvnet: Avoid sending superfluous LDC messages.
When sending out a burst of packets across multiple descriptors, it is sufficient to send one LDC "start" trigger for the first descriptor, so do not send an LDC "start" for every pass through vnet_start_xmit. Similarly, it is sufficient to send one "DRING_STOPPED" trigger for the last dring (and if that fails, hold off and send the trigger later). Optimizations to the number of LDC messages helps avoid filling up the LDC channel with superfluous LDC messages that risk triggering flow-control on the channel, and also boosts performance.
