On device to host data using msgbuf the read pointer gets updated
once all data is processed. Updating this pointer more frequently
allows the firmware to add more data quicker. This will result in
slightly higher and more stable throughput on CPU bounded host
processors.

On every tx the flow worker is triggered. When running high
throughput data this causes an excessive amount of times the worker
gets activated. This patch starts scheduling the worker more relaxed
once outstanding tx has reached a certain depth.

This patch will add the msgbuf protocol. This protocol is used by
the soon to be added new bus interface PCIe. Msgbuf is a protocol
where most data is and remains located on the host (driver) side
and transferred by DMA from and to device. Msgbuf is the protocol
which takes care of the signalling of the buffers between host and
device which identifies this DMA-able data.
