Subject: [PATCH 1/4] e1000: Redo netpoll fix to address community concerns

From: "Kok, Auke" <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2006 16:29:43 -0700

The original suggested fix for netpoll was found to be racy on SMP
kernels. While it is highly unlikely that this race would ever be seen
in the real world due to current netpoll usage models, we implemented
this updated fix to address concerns.
