Yes. The patch should not be needed.
OTOH, it is still interesting to know if it makes a difference, though
I do not really figure why afterwards (the local irq thread could get
interrupted and the interrupting thread printk() before returning but
I doubt that it is realistic).

One must ensure that pcnet32_{interrupt/hard_start_xmit} do not try to
printk() too.
