I move that:
The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue:
Issue #159: virtio-net: Fix and update VIRTIO_NET_F_NOTF_COAL feature
--------------------------------------
Make several improvements to the notification coalescing feature, including:

- Consolidating virtio_net_ctrl_coal_tx and virtio_net_ctrl_coal_rx
  into a single struct, virtio_net_ctrl_coal, as they are identical.
- Emphasizing that the coalescing commands are best-effort.
- Defining the behavior of coalescing with regards to delivering
  notifications when a change occur.
- Stating that the commands should apply to all the receive/transmit
  virtqueues.
- Stating that every receive/transmit virtqueue should count it's own
  packets.
- A new intro explaining the entire coalescing operation.

Reminder: A Voting Member must be active in a TC to maintain voting rights.  As
the Virtio TC has adopted a standing rule to conduct business only by
electronic ballot, without Meetings, a Voting Member who fails to cast a ballot
in two consecutive Work Product Ballots loses his or her voting rights at the
close of the second ballot missed.
