Should not be, e1000_io_error_detected will call e1000_down which does the 
netif_poll_disable, but e1000_io_resume nicely calls e1000_up again which does 
the netif_poll_enable again, unless io_resume somehow failed

that seems more likely

I get the feeling that a recent change exposed us to this, our lab has been 
seeing similar OOPS's yesterday out of nothing.
