  For every packet sent, a completion was being requested and the
posted_index register on the nic was being updated. Instead,
request a completion and update the posted index once per burst
after all packets have been sent by the burst function.

Unfortunately, checkpatch.pl is against this patch,
mainly because of the indentation.
It should be easy to fix ;)
