If the nemo TX entry point it only ever called with one packet at a
time then clearly, adding the packet length as an argument would be
easy to do; otherwise you're looking at attaching packet metadata to
the mblk and that's a whole other can of worms.

BTW; if the nemo tx entry point really *is* only ever called with one
packet at a time then the drivers TX code could be significantly
simplified (since they have to assume a packet chain at the moment).
