[SRU] xgene_enet: 10g performance only hits ~75% on multi-client tests

[Craig Magina]

[Impact]
During iperf testing of the xenial kernel, the line only achieves ~75% during multi-client testing.

[Test Case]
Run iperf with multiple clients

[Regression Risk]
The patches changes only affect the xgene_enet driver

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
