I find this harder to read.

To be honest, I don't really have a problem with the original code.
Another option might be to say:

	pxmitbuf->ptail = pxmitbuf->phead;
	pxmitbuf->pdata = pxmitbuf->phead;

But honestly, I'm not sure it's a very big improvement.  We'd probably
allow it to just stop people from sending more patches and having
another discussion about this.
