It will not trigger (as far as I understand the HW) because no matter
which interface will call this function, there will be next, available
descriptor provided to perform the transmission to switch port 0.

The CONFIG_SWITCH_DEBUG is rather a "local" variable.

Hmmm.... Good point. I will rewrite it.

This is the place where I do send data... (the *xmit_port function).

For reading I do have pool of pages and then I do copy the data to skb.

Ok. I will remove it.
