Subject: [PATCH] Sun ldom vnet driver dead lock

if 2 vnet attach to same vswitch, ldom will report
2 same irq then lead to dead lock on the lp->lock
or the vio->lock

static irqreturn_t ldc_rx(int irq, void *dev_id){
...
out:
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(&lp->lock, flags);
           << here run with out any lock
	send_events(lp, event_mask);
           >> vnet evetn process will dead lock on
           >> lp->lock or the vio->lock
