netpoll deferred transmit path
When the netpoll beast got busy, he tended to babble.
Instead of talking out of his large mouth as normal,
he tended to try to snort out other orifices. This lead
to words (skbs) ending up in odd places (like NIT) that
he did not intend.
The normal way of talking wouldn't work, but he could
at least change to using the same tone all the time.
