Do not stuff unrelated changes into a commit.

I have to be frank with you, this patch series... it stinks.

It papers over races with incorrect tests, unrelated changes are mixed
together, it fixes RX ring exhaustion incorrectly, it illegals starts a
transmit queue before the device is every brought up, etc.
