Subject: [PATCH 3/3] e1000: FIX: Stop raw interrupts disabled nag from RT

From: Mark Huth <mhuth@...sta.com>

Current e1000_xmit_frame spews raw interrupt disabled nag messages when
used with RT kernel patches.  This patch uses spin_trylock_irqsave,
which allows RT patches to properly manage the irq semantics.
