commit 423c982fffb1cd95c8cdd654ce5ab59351ba41f5

    firmware: convert tg3 driver to request_firmware()

breaks my nx6325.

Apparently, with this patch applied the tg3 has a NULL pointer dereference
somewhere, but I can only see the first line of the oops, afterwards the box
hangs solid.

Please drop it if possible.

Also, arch/x86/kernel/io_apic_64.c seems wrong at the moment, as it checks
for conditions that are never satisfied etc.

Thanks,
Rafael
