Any hint what the "latency problem" was here?

On ARM926 with patch-2.6.19-rt10 we use SMC91C94 ethernet (smc91x.c). With rt10 applied we get NETDEV WATCHDOG transmit timouts (see below) while using NFS. We don't get them without rt patch.

Btw: Any idea why /proc/interrupts doesn't look like Figure 8 of http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RT_PREEMPT_HOWTO ? The [........N/ 0] info is missing here.
