The transmit side of the spider ethernet driver currently
places locks around some very large chunks of code. This
results in a fair amount of lock contention is some cases.
This patch makes the locks much more fine-grained, protecting
only the cirtical sections. One lock is used to protect
three locations: the queue head and tail pointers, and the
queue low-watermark location.
