Subject: [PATCH 1/7] 8139cp: Improve accuracy of cp_interrupt() return, to
 survive IRQ storms

From: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@...el.com>

The TX timeout handling has been observed to trigger RX IRQ storms. And
since cp_interrupt() just keeps saying that it handled the interrupt,
the machine then dies. Fix the return value from cp_interrupt(), and
the offending IRQ gets disabled and the machine survives.
