On my LG X100 using Intrepid, ksoftirqd uses about 10-15% CPU when
et131x is loaded. Doing the change mentioned here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2045610&group_id=179406&atid=889023
where

pAdapter->ErrorTimer.expires=jiffies+HZ;

is added before:

add_timer( &pAdapter->ErrorTimer );

solved the problem.

Alternatively, using nohz=off kernel parameter to make the kernel no
longer tickless solves it too.
