could you try the patch below, does it fix the problem? The atl1 driver
uses raw irq flags in combination with a spinlock that is a sleeping
lock on -rt. (this is valid code on upstream, fortunately the -rt fix is
also a cleanup and a small code reduction enhancement on upstream, so
there's no problem pushing such fixes upstream.)

Subject: [patch] drivers/net/atl1/atl1_main.c: use spin_trylock_irqsave()
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

use the simpler spin_trylock_irqsave() API to get the adapter lock.

[ this is also a fix for -rt where adapter->lock is a sleeping lock. ]
