Series applied, thanks Cong.

Please follow up with John about making the queue allocation use
a prepare + commit phase.

And as for the TX queue state handling on change, I think it's
fine to purge the whole queue.  That is definitely better than
allowing the queue length to be visibly over the tx_queue_len
setting.

Thank you.
