This can probably serve as a quick workaround, as long as a real fix is being 
developed.

I'm not sure if multiple queues are needed for this to work. I think it could 
work
with a single queue as well. We just must not _unqueue_ it, if we are unable to 
transmit
it due to stopped ring. I don't know if there are skb_queue mechanisms that help
us achieve this.
