1. For buffered tcp/udp case, if CONFIG_NET_ARP_SEND/CONFIG_NET_ARP_IPIN/CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_NEIGHBOR isn't enabled and the table doesn't contain ip<->ethaddr mapping yet, the logic will skip the realtransmission and then arp/neighbor can't steal the final buffer to generate arp/icmpv6 packet.
2.for all other case, the tcp layer or user program should already contain the retransmit logic, the check is redundancy and may generate many duplicated packets if arp/icmpv6 response is too slow because the cursor stop forward. If user still concern about the very first packet lost, he could fix the issue by enabling CONFIG_NET_ARP_SEND/CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_NEIGHBOR at begin.
Iobinstrumentation
* mm/iob: Introduces producer/consumer id to every iob call. This is so that the calls can be instrumented to monitor the IOB resources.
* iob instrumentation - Merges producer/consumer enumeration for simpler IOB user.
* fs/procfs: Starts adding support for /proc/iobinfo
* fs/procfs: Finishes first pass of simple IOB user stastics and /proc/iobinfo entry

ieee802154: Simplifies notify() and rxframe() calls to a single notify() call. dataind's and all other "notifs" are now "primitives" which aligns with standard terminology
* mac802154: Adds missing breaks from case statement
* sixlowpan: Fixes bad logic where ACK is not requested if address is not a broadcast
* ieee802154: Simplification of "notifs" and "datainds" to generic primitives passed via a single notify call to the layer above the MAC
* Directories.mk should reference CONFIG_WIRELESS instead of CONFIG_DRIVERS_WIRELESS
* xbee_netdev: Network must be locked when calling sixlowpan_input
* sixlowpan: Reassembly buffer can't be freed if provided by radio driver
* sixlowpan: Don't free IOB if there is an error processing it as the MAC will try to pass it along to another receiver
* ieee802154: Adds basic logging to ieee802154_primitive.c
* Minor fixes after rebase
* xbee: Adds AT query timeout to retry if XBee doesn't respond to request
* same70-xplained: Adds Xbee support. Makes mikroBus slot Kconfig 'choice'
* mac802154: Removes unused function declaration
* drivers/mrf24j40: Fixes compilation error using . operator rather than -> operator
* mac802154_device: Changes a few mac802154_primtive_free's to ieee802154_primitive_free() and changes notif to primitive in a couple places.
* mac802154: Adds promiscous mode logic to bypass parsing of incoming frames. MAC char device also checks for promiscous mode and passes whole frames including header and FCS to the application if promiscous mode is enabled.
* sixlowpan: Fixes logic to correctly check if packet is large enough to include header. This would cause packets to be considered too small when they are sufficiently sized.
* sixlowpan: Fixes forwarding logic to use forwarding device rather than received device to look up destination link layer address
* net/ipforward: Fixes typo that caused build error when IP forwarding was enabled with CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_NEIGHBOR enabled as well.
* configs/same70-xplained: Simple spelling fix
