Backport of commit c59697e06058fc2361da8cefcfa3de85ac107582 This patch restores a couple of workarounds from 2.6.16: * restart transmit moderation timer in case it expires during IRQ routine * default to having 10 HZ watchdog timer. At this point it more important not to hang than to worry about the power cost.
