One thing i didnt quiet follow Dave in some of the drivers, example in
the e1000:

-----
/* Called with dev->xmit_lock held and interrupts disabled.  */
 static int
 e1000_xmit_frame(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *netdev)
---

Who calls that with dev->xmit_lock held and interrupts disabled?
Shouldnt the spin_unlock(&netdev->xmit_lock); be right at the top of
that routine now?

cheers,
jamal
