    [BNX2]: Enhance the heartbeat. · df149d70
    Michael Chan authored
    In addition to the periodic heartbeat, we're adding a heartbeat
    request interrupt when the heartbeat is late.  This is needed during
    netpoll where the timer is not available.  -rt kernels will also
    benefit since the timer is not as accurate.
    
    [ We discussed this patch last time and we decided that the -rt
      kernel problem alone did not justify this patch.  I think the
      netpoll problem makes this patch necessary. ]
