Hi,

I got the following warning. The cause of this warning is the context
of ->hard_start_xmit() was changed. Before that patch the IRQ was
enableing, but now it was disabled.

With this change, the assumption of some drivers was changed, so now
some drivers need to change the ->hard_start_xmit().
(e.g, dev_kfree_skb() -> dev_kfree_skb_irq(), spin_lock_irq() -> spin_lock()).

This is a known issue (in 2.6.11-rc2). Linus' tree should certainly
include the revert patch at this time.
