-     *_abort_code will be set to any abort code that occurred.  0 will be
-     returned on a successful completion, -ECONNABORTED will be returned if the
-     client failed due to a remote abort and anything else will return an

-     This attempts to partially reinitialise a call and submit it again while
-     reusing the original call's Tx queue to avoid the need to repackage and
-     re-encrypt the data to be sent.  call indicates the call to retry, srx the
-     new address to send it to and key the encryption key to use for signing or
-     encrypting the packets.
-
-     For this to work, the first Tx data packet must still be in the transmit
-     queue, and currently this is only permitted for local and network errors
-     and the call must not have been aborted.  Any partially constructed Tx
-     packet is left as is and can continue being filled afterwards.

-     It returns 0 if the call was requeued and an error otherwise.
