Please don't ever do stuff like that :-(  That makes the driver
version, and any other information you report completely meaningless
and useless.  You've just wasted a lot of our time.

I have no idea to even know _WHICH_ IRQ spinlock patch you applied.

The one that ended up in Linus's tree has many bug fixes and
refinements.  The ones which were posted on netdev had many bugs and
deadlocks which needed to be cured before pushing the change upstream.
