Looks like a bunch of locks and flushes are missing in this patch. IMHO
that's just too painful with current hardware. IMO the right thing to
do here is to add ability to reset specific queues to hardware.

What if after this triggers user does something
to the device (e.g. attempts to remove it)?
Or if a packet is transmitted or used?

Won't this lose a bunch of state, like mac addresses,
multicast, rx mode, etc etc?
