maybe_tx_wakeup is not a tasklet any more. That was one of the
big benefits of going NAPI, as David Miller pointed out- we
are already in NAPI context, so the original reason (deadlock
with dev_watchdog) does not exist any more.
I'm working on adding the rest of your comments about
removing comments and making an int into a bool.
