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

RH-Commit: [22/30] d83a91284970ced6f60964ded15d04405845e8bb
The 'xgmac_enet_send' 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 'frame' buffer will be fully initialized when reading guest
memory to fetch the data to send.
