- *      I notice this method can also return errors from the queue disciplines,
- *      including NET_XMIT_DROP, which is a positive value.  So, errors can also
- *      be positive.
+ * When calling this method, interrupts MUST be enabled. This is because
+ * the BH enable code must have IRQs enabled so that it will not deadlock.
  *
- *      Regardless of the return value, the skb is consumed, so it is currently
- *      difficult to retry a send to this method.  (You can bump the ref count
- *      before sending to hold a reference for retry if you are careful.)
