Why do you need this one?

Shouldn't be needed aswell.

<net/checksum.h>, please.

Do you really need that many locks?

We normally prefer atomic_dec_and_test(&adapter->irq_sem) == 0 or
just !atomic_dec_and_test(&adapter->irq_sem).

Also all these little helpers should probably not be marked inline
so gcc can decide on it's own merit which static function to inline.

ethtool doesn't use the ioctl path anymore at all.

Preffered style for this is:

	err = atl1_setup_ring_resources(adapter);
	if (err)
		return err;
	err = atl1_up(adapter);
	if (err)
		goto err_up;

(also applies in various other places)
