RH-MergeRequest: 461: Solve -ftrivial-auto-var-init performance regression with QEMU_UNINITIALIZED
RH-Jira: RHEL-99887

RH-Commit: [19/30] 3c072f59b9a283b40327117585d9f01d32ecc081
The 'rtl8139_transmit_one' method has a 8k byte array used for
copying data between guest and host. Skip the automatic zero-init
of this array to eliminate the performance overhead in the I/O
hot path.
The 'txbuffer' will be fully initialized when reading PCI DMA
buffers.
