/*
 * ixgbe_ring_tx
 *
 * To transmit one mblk through one specified ring.
 *
 * One mblk can consist of several fragments, each fragment
 * will be processed with different methods based on the size.
 * For the fragments with size less than the bcopy threshold,
 * they will be processed by using bcopy; otherwise, they will
 * be processed by using DMA binding.
 *
 * To process the mblk, a tx control block is got from the
 * free list. One tx control block contains one tx buffer, which
 * is used to copy mblk fragments' data; and one tx DMA handle,
 * which is used to bind a mblk fragment with DMA resource.
 *
 * Several small mblk fragments can be copied into one tx control
 * block's buffer, and then the buffer will be transmitted with
 * one tx descriptor.
 *
 * A large fragment only binds with one tx control block's DMA
 * handle, and it can span several tx descriptors for transmitting.
 *
 * So to transmit a packet (mblk), several tx control blocks can
 * be used. After the processing, those tx control blocks will
 * be put to the work list.
