This patch series cleans up a few outstanding bugs in netpoll:

- two bugfixes from Jeff Moyer's netpoll bonding
- a tweak to e1000's netpoll stub
- timeout handling for e1000 with carrier loss
- prefilling SKBs at init
- a fix-up for a race discovered in initialization
- an unused variable warning
Matt, I have tested them, the sender doesnt lockup anymore. But a
task dump doesnt work, I get only the first task. This is on a 3GHz xeon
with tg3 card.
Does the task dump work without patch 5/8 (add retry timeout)? I'll
try testing it here.

I spoke to soon, worked once, after reboot not anymore. Will try to play
with individual patches. Does the task dump work for you, at least?
