We have two driver implementation paths on recieve and now
we'll have two on send, and that's not a good trend.

In an ideal world all the drivers would be NAPI and netif_rx()
would only be used by tunneling drivers and similar in the
protocol layers.  And likewise all sends would go through
->hard_start_xmit().

If you can come up with a long term strategy that gets rid of
the special transmit method, that'd be great.

We should make Linux network drivers easy to write, not more difficult
by constantly adding most interfaces than we consolidate.
