Guess, the caller constructing the skb list to xmit_list() must make
sure all SKBs have the same TXQ.

In the exit case (!dev_xmit_complete(rc)) is it,
1. the responsibility of the driver to "flush" the tail, or
2. do we depend on qdisc or softirq to be reactivated soonish?

I think the driver will have to do it, much like it must do so when
the queue is stopped.
