Hi,
         What sort of problems does the patch fix ? I have a name 
server that sees the odd watchdog reset. Do you think this would 
address that problem ?  Its not that frequent, but it does happen.

eg

Feb 17 17:59:28 auth2 kernel: bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
Feb 21 16:17:50 auth2 kernel: bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
Feb 28 11:13:11 auth2 kernel: bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
Mar  7 09:01:43 auth2 kernel: bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
Mar 10 10:21:12 auth2 kernel: bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
Mar 14 03:50:46 auth2 kernel: bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
