This code makes transmit path and transmit reset safer by:
   * adding memory barrier before checking available ring slots
   * reseting state of tx ring elements after free
   * seperate cleanup function from ring done function
   * removing mostly unused tx_next element


   

Stephen,

Just want to confirm that this supersedes both of the patches I'm 
currently running with:

1. skb_may_pull
2. Nash patch

You want:
  1. AF_PACKET patch that makes sure skb is not modified after send
  2. This patch.
