So, add two new counters to struct usbnet for this?  That seems a little
overkill to me, but I don't see how else to implement anything like that.

It is still not completely clear to me how the throttling/unthrottling
should be done.  It tested with static counters (to avoid having to
rebuild everything for this test) and a new EVENT_RX_THROTTLE flag.
Still on top of my previous patch just for safety while testing, as I am
fed up of having to reboot all the time :-)

Doing the flag test in rx_submit seems simpler than trying to track all
the places this is called.  Still checking the dev->done.qlen to be able
to unthrottle.

Was this along the lines you thought?
