Sigh, there are even more issues. Now dev_kfree_skb()
is illegal in ->hard_start_xmit() because interrupts are
disabled, and there are many such cases in the simpler
net drivers.
I think we might need to revert the change over to IRQ
disabling dev->xmit_lock and rethink this. This is just too
much fallout.
