dpdk: enable RX interrupts for the virtio driver
Type: improvement Request use of RX interrupts for virtio if the system will support it, which is done by applying the same check as in the virtio driver, namely whether multiple interrupts are supported. This allows the use of RX adaptive/interrupt mode instead of just polling, which is useful in virtualised environments where functionality may be more important than performance and so using polling mode is wasteful.
