Subject: [net-2.6 PATCH 1/2] ixgbe: Do not attempt to perform interrupts in
	netpoll when down

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@...el.com>

This patch resolves issues seen when running netconsole and rebooting via
reboot -f.  The issue was due to the fact that we were attempting to
perform interrupt actions when the q_vectors and rings had already been
freed via the ixgbe_shutdown routines.
