Thank you Robert for trying it out.

Well those results are counter-intuitive!  We remove Tx interrupts and
Tx descriptor DMA write-backs and get no re-tries, and performance
drops?  The only bus activities left are the DMA of buffers to device
and the register writes to increment tail.  I'm stumped.  I'll need to
get my hands on a faster system.  Maybe there is a bus analyzer under
the tree.  :-)
