Shouldn't that cause packet loss, not actual stuck queues?  Or is the
problem that the device literally can't transmit at all for 10 seconds
and the driver eventually gets sick of waiting?  Could the driver
learn to detect this more sensibly, drop the packets cleanly after
some timeout, and maybe log a message about extremely high noise?

I haven't seem any of these problems on 4.8-rc yet.  I'll keep you
posted if I do.
