Subject: [PATCH net v3 2/9] forcedeth: Acknowledge only interrupts that are being processed

From: Mike Ditto <mditto@...gle.com>

This is to avoid a race, accidentally acknowledging an interrupt that
we didn't notice and won't immediately process.  This is based solely
on code inspection; it is not known if there was an actual bug here.
