Perfect.

Yes - please.  Because each channel is completely separate from each
other channel, we want to be able to start sending a packet through
the chain at any arbitrary time rather than start all of them at the
same time.

Moving the tx_strobe from the outer module into the
tx_chan_fifo_reader is a good idea - and for the future, we may even
want to be able to have different interpolation rates for each of the
channels - so the rate value should be fed into the tx_chan_fifo.
Later, we can make more registers for the different channel
interpolation rates.
