The rx process only runs in the interrupt handler. Access from outside
the interrupt handler is only permitted after disable_irq().

+The rx process usually runs under the netif_tx_lock. If np->intr_tx_reap
is set, then access is permitted under spin_lock_irq(&np->lock).
Thus configuration functions that want to access everything must call
disable_irq(dev->irq);

spin_lock_irq(&np->lock);
