tg3: Allow screaming interrupt detection
The tg3 driver's ISR is coded to accept interrupts as its own if the status block tag does not equal the last tag the driver has seen. The last_tag field is updated from tg3_poll. In a screaming interrupt situation from another device sharing tg3's IRQ, tg3_poll does not get a chance to be called, so the last_tag will always be out of sync with the status block tag. Consequently, the driver will continually declare the screaming interrupts as its own, thus thwarting the screaming interrupt detection logic. This patch solves the problem by creating a new last_irq_tag member and recording the status block tag in the ISR. The ISR then checks the last_irq_tag for interrupt ownership. Many thanks to John Marvin for the detailed bug report and analysis and Michael Chan for the bugfix.
