Ah, right,...

that takes a whole bunch of locks at once..

Is that really needed? - when I grep for its usage its surprisingly few
drivers using it and even less generic code.

When I look at the mac802.11 code in ieee80211_tx_pending() it looks
like it can do with just one lock at a time, instead of all - but I
might be missing some obvious details.

So I guess my question is, is netif_tx_lock() here to stay, or is the
right fix to convert all those drivers to use __netif_tx_lock() which
locks only a single queue?
