Add start_xmit support for split queue model. To start with, add the necessary checks to linearize the skb if it uses more number of buffers than the hardware supported limit. Stop the transmit queue if there are no enough descriptors available for the skb to use or if there we're going to potentially overrun the completion queue. Finally prepare the descriptor with all the required information and update the tail.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
