    rx: Don't malloc the xmit list
    
    Building the transmit list happens in a time critical section of
    code. Using malloc to allocate the list which holds the packets to
    be transmitted slows down this critical section. Instead, just
    allocate the space as part of the call structure.
    
    Locking of xmitList is somewhat tricksy, as the call->lock is
    dropped over calls to sendmsg(). However, the xmitList is protected
    by the TQ_BUSY call flag, which prevents multiple threads from
    usign the transmit queue, and hence the xmitList, simultaneously.
