Currently, before a packet is passed to the driver, the driver is asked
about status of its TX queues (i.e. how many packets are queued in each
queue and how large are queues).
This is different from the way generic networking works in Linux and it
doesn't allow easy implementation of resubmitting fragments to the driver
when the queue gets filled up during transmitting.
This patch changes the stack not to ask driver about queue status but
require driver to do TX flow control.
Please note that this breaks drivers.
