I will do some test on this.

I try this way and it works. The only usage I can think of introducing
those states is to detect the yield and do some optimizations after. But
only few drivers (bnx2x) use the yield flag.

I think I can  switch to use NAPI state since we don't do such
optimization in virtio-net.

I think the reason is we need a quota here to prevent the busy polling
method from starving other threads. 4 is just copied form the existed
implementation (ixgbe).

It was used to wait for the completion of busy polling to finish.
