The commit message should perhaps read:
Call default if_qflush on ifq if there are still packets left in the default
queue after calling the driver's flush method.
However, this seems a bit odd: what if the driver uses if_snd as its queue but
implements other differences in the transmit routine? In that case, we might
impose default queue properties on if_snd even though the driver doesn't use
them. Could you talk a bit about the circumstances under which the driver
provides an if_qflush that doesn't drain its queues properly?
