Yeah, was going to do that anyway. But since I'm touching the code
anyway, this might be an opportunity to avoid constructs like this:

if (!invoke_tx_handlers(tx))
  /* continue sending the packet */

Most other succeed/fail functions seem to be of type bool, so it would
help consistency as well. Unless there is some particular reason why
this function happens to be using 0 to indicate success?
