The remaining changes from the removed patch are moved into patch 10/31
(Doorbell Drop Avoidance Bug Fixes).  10/31 has the driver call
disable_txq_db() from an interrupt handler, and I thought it would be
better to put all the changes to fix how the db lock is acquired into
this one patch.   

We forgot mention this in the cover letter.  Sorry about that.

Steve.
