When the interface is shutdown, the mv643xx_eth driver hits the following

It seems that txq_reclaim() takes the netif tx lock:
__netif_tx_lock(nq, smp_processor_id());
in a context outside of softirq context, and thus is susceptible to
deadlock should an interrupt occur.
Use __netif_tx_lock_bh()/__netif_tx_unlock_bh() instead.
