But I have attached the new OOPS anyway.
The same problem is still there, this driver will
unfortunately require quite a bit more surgery.

You can instead add the following patch, it will
warn instead of BUG on you, and try to continue.
Argh, EMAC ! I suppose I need to go have a look & fix it :-)

EMAC does some strange things such as sharing one NAPI instance for
multiple devices. Dunno if that's related to the problem. I need to dig
a bit.

Cheers,
Ben.
