+Subject: [PATCH] virtio: tx with can_push when VERSION_1 is set
+
+Current virtio driver advertises VERSION_1 support,
+but does not handle device's VERSION_1 support when
+sending packets (it looks for ANY_LAYOUT feature,
+which is absent).
+
+This patch enables 'can_push' in tx path when VERSION_1
+is advertised by the device.
+
+This significantly improves small packets forwarding rate
+towards devices advertising VERSION_1 feature.
+
