Recovery doesn't work too well if we leave interrupts disabled...

For stable too, I suppose.

While you are at it, do you see what would prevent the watchdog
timer and the rx napi handler to race on two different CPUs
("using a Geode" could be an answer :o) ) ?

Yes. Watch for http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/davem/stable/

Hm, good point. Is it sufficient just to stick napi_disable() and
napi_enable() in there? And should we try to reset the TX state machine
without stomping on RX at all?

No, napi_disable() may sleep.

Either that or the watchdog timer will have to queue some user context
work. Things may change later when you go lockless (hint, hint).
