Hi, Thomas,

If I reboot with sky2.disable_msi=1, then I get IO-APIC and the bug does 
not occur:

  19:          0          0          0          0   IO-APIC  19-fasteoi eth0

However, if I reboot without sky2.disable_msi=1 it properly starts as 
PCI-MSI and then, after re-modprobing it it goes to IO-APIC, but the bug 
occurs anyway:

$ cat /proc/interrupts | grep eth
  27:          0          1          0          0   PCI-MSI 3145728-edge 
      eth0

$ sudo modprobe -r sky2
[sudo] password for alvarezp:

$ sudo modprobe sky2 disable_msi=1

$ # hibernating and coming back hibernation

$ cat /proc/interrupts | grep eth
  19:          0          0          0          0   IO-APIC  19-fasteoi 
  eth0

This is not happening. Each time the driver is loaded the message "sky2: 
driver version 1.30" is shown.

I confirm only 1 line for the sky2.disable_msi=1 from kernel boot and 
only 2 lines for re-modprobing.

Best regards,
Octavio.
