Couldn't these be done for the device in the existing qdisc infra
structure (or dev_start_xmit). Alternatively, rename ndo_start_xmit
to something else and make all the callers use the wrapper.

Changing all the drivers for something that the driver has no real
need to care about seems like incorrect object design.
