I think you mean unlikely(!enable_done) here?

Looks like qsize instead of 1 is better? The more skbs freed in
ndo_start_xmit() the less chance tx napi will be scheduled.

Looks like we'd better move this in the end in case the queue could be
restarted by following lines?

Why drop virtqueue_disable_cb() here?
