LLTX is deprecated and complicated, don't use it. It was observed by Don Ash <donash4@gmail.com> that e1000e was acquiring this lock in the NAPI cleanup path. This is obviously a bug, as this is a leftover from when e1000 supported multiple tx queues and fake netdevs. another user reported this to us and tested routing with the 2.6.27 kernel and this patch and reported a 3.5 % improvement in packets forwarded in a multi-port test on 82571 parts.
