David, Eric, do any of you know why we have this netdevice notfier
rebroadcast?

It's been there as long as I can remember, but I don't remember
exactly why we do that.

If I had to guess, it's to handle something that has to retry later
due to a "spin_trylock()" or similar type of situation.

Probably best to not remove it. :)
