I have bounced the messages to David Woodhouse since he authored the
last 8139cp changes in net-next and owns the hardware to notice
regressions.

My message of two days ago was wrong : it is not possible for the irq
handler to process a Tx event after the rings have been freed. Things
still look racy wrt netpoll though.

Any objection against the patch below ?

(I did not gotoize the dev == NULL test: it is really unlikely and
should go away).
