virtio: use any layout on Tx

Virtio supports a feature that allows sender to put transmit
header prepended to data.  It requires that the mbuf be writeable, correct
alignment, and the feature has been negotiatied.  If all this works out,
then it will be the optimum way to transmit a single segment packet.
