Yeah, but I think that should be OK. If I'm remembering the intention
of the code correctly, the reason xmit_lock is being taken there is
just to protect dev->mc_list -- and this is needed because ipoib has
to defer handling set_multicast_list to process context. Am I right
in thinking that dev->xmit_lock still serializes mc_list operations,
even for LLTX drivers?
