Interested parties should try the forcedeth patches I just posted :)

The patches look good, but I would still prefer to understand why the current implementation causes crashes before rewriting everything.

I've just noticed that netpoll_send_skb() calls ->hard_start_xmit() and ->poll() within local_irq_save(). Thus it seems that spin_lock_irqsave() must be used in the poll() and hard_start_xmit() callbacks, at least in nics that support POLL_CONTROLLER :-(
