virtio: net refill on out-of-memory
If we run out of memory, use keventd to fill the buffer. There's a report of this happening: "Page allocation failures in guest", Message-ID: <20090713115158.0a4892b0@mjolnir.ossman.eu> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
