Subject: [PATCH 57/81] via-rhine: Fix bugs in NAPI support.

3.5.7.6 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>

commit 559bcac35facfed49ab4f408e162971612dcfdf3 upstream.

1) rhine_tx() should use dev_kfree_skb() not dev_kfree_skb_irq()

2) rhine_slow_event_task's NAPI triggering logic is racey, it
   should just hit the interrupt mask register.  This is the
   same as commit 7dbb491878a2c51d372a8890fa45a8ff80358af1
   ("r8169: avoid NAPI scheduling delay.") made to fix the same
   problem in the r8169 driver.  From Francois Romieu.
