Another new driver using LLTX, this is not good when we're trying
to get rid of it.

Perhaps we could just kill it by ignoring the LLTX flag and always
grabbing the xmit lock.  That should be safe as long as none of these
drivers grab the xmit lock within their private locks.

LLTX drivers will be a tad slower, but that should encourage them
to stop using it :)

Cheers,
