Doesn't we have:

 ?????? /* This should not happen! */
 ??????? if (unlikely(err)) {
 ??????????????? dev->stats.tx_fifo_errors++;
 ??????????????? if (net_ratelimit())
 ??????????????????????? dev_warn(&dev->dev,
 ???????????????????????????????? "Unexpected TXQ (%d) queue failure:
%d\n",
 ???????????????????????????????? qnum, err);
 ??????????????? dev->stats.tx_dropped++;
 ??????????????? dev_kfree_skb_any(skb);
 ??????????????? return NETDEV_TX_OK;
 ??????? }

Which should be sufficient?

Note that, we probably need the watchdog for virtio-net in order to be a 
complete solution.

Thanks
