does this fix it?

Make the ne2000 drivers use irqsave, they already disabled interrupts
generally so it is semi redundant, but it'll help the lock validator at
least...
(potential downside: the old code let the timer irq at least happen;
but... this is all really yukky code in the first place, someone
needs to modernize this at some point)
