This driver xmit function is racy I suspect, and several patches will be
needed to fix bugs.
For example, it uses a tx_lock, but no other part of the driver uses it.
It's a copy/paste leftover from a LLTX driver.
[PATCH] atl1c: remove useless tx lock
This lock has no purpose, since caller already runs in a serialized
context (its not a LLTX driver)
