Hi Sabrina,

The idea when this first came up was to skip the sleeping part of
disable_irq():

http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=142314159626052

This fell off my todolist and I didn't send the conversion patches,
which would basically look like this:

Yes it works in the several machines that had the BUG!

[ 23.806847] netpoll: netconsole: local port 6665
