-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Joerg Ahrens I am using a Xircom CEM33 pcmcia NIC which has occasional hardware problems. If the netdev watchdog detects a transmit timeout, do_reset is called which msleeps - this is illegal in atomic context. This patch schedules the timeout handling as a workqueue item.
