thanks, looks like a good fix.  Good debugging too.  I'll try to get
this into 2.6.27.

By the way, looking at this stuff again, it seems we have (a possibly
quite unlikely) race where a send can complete before the xmit method
finishes, and we end up running skb_orphan on an skb that another
context has already freed.  I'll have to think about how we can fix
that -- but any good ideas are appreciated...
