Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] net: Remove ndo_xmit_flush netdev operation, use
 signalling instead.

There have been thousands upon thousands of commits since that
change.

You should be testing the tree as it currently stands, to see
if xmit_more behaves correctly or not.

If xmit_more were incorrectly set to 1 in the current tree, it
would stall the TX queue of the networking device and we would
be seeing lots of reports of this.
