+ *      I notice this method can also return errors from the queue disciplines,
+ *      including NET_XMIT_DROP, which is a positive value.  So, errors can also
+ *      be positive.

+ *      When calling this method, interrupts MUST be enabled.  This is because
+ *      the BH enable code must have IRQs enabled so that it will not deadlock.
