[Qemu-devel] [PATCH][RESEND] net: Fix send queue ordering

[Jan Kiszka]

Ensure that packets enqueued for delayed delivery are dequeued in FIFO
order. At least one simplistic guest TCP/IP stack became unhappy due to
sporadically reordered packet streams.

At this chance, switch the send queue implementation to TAILQ.

Should also be applied to stable-0.11
