The poll callback checks if the used memory is less than the half of per
socket snd buffer (IIRC ~60K). See:

datagram_poll (http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.38/net/core/datagram.c#L737)
sock_writeable (http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.38/include/net/sock.h#L1618)

Because the size of a can frame (+the skb overhead) is much less then
the ethernet frame (+overhead) the default value for the snd buffer is
too big for can.

We get the -ENOBUF from write() if the tx_queue_len (default 10) is
exceeded.

cheers, Marc
