On newer hosts that support delayed tx interrupts,
we probably don't have much to gain from orphaning
packets early.
Note: this might degrade performance for
hosts without event idx support.
Should be addressed by the next patch.

I think there is no need to remove free_old_xmit_skbs here.
you could add free_old_xmit_skbs in tx_irq's napi func.
also could do this in start_xmit if you handle the race well.
I have done the same thing in ixgbe driver(free skb in ndo_start_xmit
and both in tx_irq's poll func), and it seems work well:)
I think there would be no so much interrupts in this way, also tx
interrupt coalesce is not needed.
