[PATCH] netxen: Fix a sleep-in-atomic bug in netxen_nic_pci_mem_access_direct
The driver may sleep under a spin lock, and the function call path is: netxen_nic_pci_mem_access_direct (acquire the lock by spin_lock) ioremap --> may sleep To fix it, the lock is released before "ioremap", and the lock is acquired again after this function.
