Subject: [PATCH] Fix crash in tg3 when using irqpoll

When using irqpoll I had a crash when I loaded the tg3 network driver
(on IA64). The stack trace was:

        ia64_leave_kernel
        [tg3]tg3_interrupt_tagged
        note_interrupt
        __do_IRQ
        ia64_handle_irq
        ia64_leave_kernel
        _spin_unlock_irqrestore
        pci_bus_read_config_dword
        pci_restore_state
        [tg3]tg3_chip_reset
        [tg3]tg3_reset_hw
        [tg3]tg3_init_hw
        [tg3]tg3_open
        dev_open
        dev_change_flags
        devinet_ioctl
        inet_ioctl
        sock_ioctl
        do_ioctl
        vfs_ioctl
        sys_ioctl
        ia64_ret_from_syscall
        __kernel_syscall_via_break

Also, I had a MCA that ended up in a read from a PCI address that belongs to the
tg3 driver.

This patch makes sure that even the tr32() instruction in the interrupt handler
is not executed which accesses PCI memory. Accessing PCI memory when
pci_restore_state() is called is a bad idea because that function modifies
the BARs of the PCI device.

I think the problem could also happen when using shared interrupts, not only
irqpoll.
