Only generate tx interrupts on every ring size / 4 descriptors. Move the
netif_stop_queue call to the end of the xmit function rather than
checking at the beginning.

The hardware should also interrupt if the TX ring becomes empty; does it
do that?

Ben.

Yes, with the "tx buffer unavailable" bit DMA_INTR_ENA_TUE. It is not a
per descriptor interrupt.

However, I just noticed I missed part of this patch to actually enable
tx descriptor interrupt. New version coming.
