this looks very wrong; why is t3_slow_intr_handler a void rather than
returning IRQ_HANDLED etc? And why wrap around it ?

I'm usually kind of nervous with drivers taking the rtnl_lock; to me
that sounds like a layering violation.. why shouldn't your attributes
etc live in the net layer instead?

what is this ifdef for?

what are these for ?

are these "some kernels" actual current mainline kernels?

this looks wrong; if you can't get 64 bit coherent allocs but can get 32
bit ones.. why error out ?
