Current e1000_xmit_frame spews raw interrupt disabled nag messages when
used with RT kernel patches.  This patch uses spin_trylock_irqsave,
which allows RT patches to properly manage the irq semantics.

Looks OK with me on first sight, I'll keep it on my stack and push it upstream after Jesse looks it over.

Which -RT paches make this pop up btw? I'd like to repro it.

Thanks,

Auke
