ToDevice packet rejects

That message happens when Click thought that a device was ready to send a
packet, and tried to send a packet to that device, but the device refused
to send it. Such packets are dropped. The message could conceivably occur
because of a race condition with Linux, but more likely, it just means that
the device is full (it's running slower than the CPU).

My 2c. Maybe someone else remembers this message more particularly.
