Subject: mv643xx_eth.c lockdep violation

On shutdown, the mv643xx_eth driver hits the following problem when it is
taken down.  I've been noticing this for a number of kernel versions now
that I've enabled lockdep, so it's not a new problem.

It seems that txq_reclaim() takes the netif tx lock:

        __netif_tx_lock(nq, smp_processor_id());

in a context outside of softirq context, and thus is susceptible to
deadlock should an interrupt occur.

Maybe the call to txq_reclaim() in txq_deinit() should disable local
IRQs?  Someone who knows this driver needs to look at this.
