[TG3]: Eliminate spurious interrupts.
Spurious interrupts are often encountered especially on systems using the 8259 PIC mode. This is because the I/O write to deassert the interrupt is posted and won't get to the chip immediately. As a result, the IRQ may remain asserted after the IRQ handler exits, causing spurious interrupts. Flush the interrupt mailbox in non-MSI handlers to de-assert the IRQ immediately. This seems to be the most straight forward approach after discussion with Jeff Garzik and David Miller. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
