There is no need to synchronize the polling with the transmit
function. The only place to synchronize is when we process
the cq from the transmit function. Also removed spin_lock_irq,
and using spin_trylock, if somebody else is already processing the cq,
no need to wait for it to finish.

The Mellanox ConnectX can operate as an InfiniBand adapter, as an
Ethernet NIC, or as a Fibre Channel (FC) HBA. The kernel has a
low-level driver, mlx4_core, which handles multiplexing access to the
device, and there is also already an InfiniBad driver, mlx4_ib.
This patch adds a new driver, mlx4_en, which implements a standard
Ethernet NIC driver.
