Ok we can reinstate this patch and remove the bits from 10/31 if that's what you prefer.

Steve.

BTW: From my earlier reply explaining that we didn't drop the needed fixes:

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.
