This file does most of the work of transmitting outgoing messages. It is responsible for copying data from user space into skbs and it also implements the "pacer", which throttles output if necessary to prevent queue buildup in the NIC. Note: the pacer eventually needs to be replaced with a Homa-specific qdisc, which can better manage simultaneous transmissions by Homa and TCP. The current implementation can coexist with TCP and doesn't harm TCP, but Homa's latency suffers when TCP runs concurrently.
