Hi Stephen,

Here is an alternate (and more intrusive) patch set to solve the
transmit during restart issues.

These patches avoid introducing a new state variable by

* reworking the transmit queue to work without locks
* tweaking sky2_down() to avoid invalid tx queue positions being
received in the status queue

Please let me know if this looks better,

thanks,

Mike
