Subject2.6.9 RCU breakage in dev_queue_xmit

Running dual gigabit interfaces at 196 MB/S (megabytes/second) on
receive, 12 CLK interacket gap time, 1500 bytes payload
at 65000 packets per second per gigabit interface, and retransmitting
received packets at 130 MB/S out of a third gigabit interface
with skb, RCU locks in dev_queue_xmit breaks and enters the following state:

And before any of you guys whine about "give me a test case" I just
did. Device driver is e1000 in the 2.6.9 kernel
tree. System is a Xeon based system at 3 Ghz single processor with 4
GB of ram and a 3GB/1GB kernel/user
split address space.
