[2.6.20.16 review 28/28] sky2: workaround for lost IRQ

From: Willy Tarreau
Date: Sat Aug 11 2007 - 15:05:05 EST


This patch restores a couple of workarounds from 2.6.16:
* restart transmit moderation timer in case it expires during IRQ routine
* default to having 10 HZ watchdog timer.
At this point it more important not to hang than to worry about the
power cost.
