It would be good if Joe could go through the remaining print_mac users
and convert the remaining unintended function calls in fastpaths back
to MAC_FMT. Grepping for "start_xmit" in commit 0795af5729b shows that
at least 10 hard_start_xmit functions are affected and I expect that
some of the changes in the wireless code affect fastpaths as well.
