Uhg ... I knew I was missing something.

This will re-enable the so called "early drop hack" that checks early in the 
output path whether or not there is room left in the interface queue. This 
reduces the workload and the network lock contention as it avoids unnecessary 
progressing of packets that can't be queued (and later sent out) anyway.

For ALTQ enabled queues the check is disabled. Before this change it was 
disabled for *all* queues once you put in "options ALTQ".
