Log Message:
Restart transmitter, not reset the entire chip, on transmission errors
like Tx underrun.
This should improve performance on such errors.

Handle fifo threshold properly --- actually it did not handled at all.
Note that the Tx Complete interrupts occur only on errors, and ex_txstat()
is not good place to increment sc->tx_succ_ok.  Increase the sc->tx_succ_ok
count from 100 to 256, since the ex(4) does busmastering and underruns
should rarely happen in normal operations.

Possibly improve some situation for the hang-on-heavy-load problems,
such as kern/11450 and kern/27096.
