irda and some wan devices also need this. I would prefer we hid the details.
How about allowing adding to the netif macros so there is a way to say
both stop and pause. Unfortunately stop seems to have been used for pause 8(

	netif_suspend_queue(dev)
	netif_resume_queue(dev)

and hide the watchdog in the nice softnet API
