Subject: [net-2.6 PATCH 2/3] ixgbe: disable tx engine before disabling tx laser

From: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@...el.com>

Disabling the tx laser while receiving DMA requests
can hang the device.  After this occurs the device
is in a bad state. The GPIO bit never clears when
PCI master access is disabled and a reboot is required
to get the device in a good state again.
