Follow-ups

A low priority ethernet interrupt is incorrectly triggered between 2 consequent

high priority IPI messages, which creates a deadlock in disable_irq() invoked in

smc91x net poll controller by the second IPI handler. The second IPI message is

queued within the first IPI handler. They should be handled in first IPI

handler, but current IPI handler doesn't circle all messges, which may increase

in this loop, in the queue properly before return.

Fixed.

It is ok now with switching threads serveral times back and forth. So close.
