I'm sending this on mostly because it was a bit of a pain to track down,
and hopefully it will save time if anyone else hits this while playing
with the -rt kernel.  It is NOT the right way to fix things, so please
don't even think of applying this patch (unless you need it, in your own
local tree :-).

One of these days when we have time to breath we'll look into fixing
this the right way, if someone doesn't beat us to it first.  :-)

Ted, what tg3 hardware is having this timer related problem?  Can you
send me the tg3 probing output?
