[TG3]: Eliminate all hw IRQ handler spinlocks.
Move all driver spinlocks to be taken at sw IRQ
context only.
This fixes the skb_copy() we were doing with hw
IRQs disabled (which is illegal and triggers a
BUG() with HIGHMEM enabled). It also simplifies
the locking all over the driver tremendously.
We accomplish this feat by creating a special
sequence to synchronize with the hw IRQ handler
using a binary state and synchronize_irq().
This idea is from Herbert Xu.
Thanks to Michael Chan for helping to track down
all of the race conditions in initial versions
of this code.
