The user should simply be not allowed to do this.

Once the packet is in the device queue, that's it.  You cannot insert
a new packet to be transmitted before an already hw queued packet,
period.

Any out of order request should be rejected with an error.

I'd say the same is true for requests to send packets timed
in the past.
