[PATCH] libertas cs/sdio: fix 'NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08' message

netif_rx should be called only from interrupt context. if_cs and if_sdio receive
packets from other contexts, and thus should call netif_rx_ni.

Hi!

Here is the solution for the 'NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08' message seen when
using the libertas compact flash or sdio libertas drivers.

This patch is against 2.6.24-rc8 and has only been tested with the sdio
interface, please test it with usb.



Regards

Marc
