[BNX2]: Enhance the heartbeat.
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. ] Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
