I've looked at the interrupt handling in more detail and came up
with this patch. Please review, and forward if you are happy with the
changes.
Alex, could you try if this solves your problem?

Subject: [PATCH] net/hip04: refactor interrupt masking
The hip04 ethernet driver currently acknowledges all interrupts directly
in the interrupt handler, and leaves all interrupts except the RX data
enabled the whole time. This causes multiple problems:
- When more packets come in between the original interrupt and the
NAPI poll function, we will get an extraneous RX interrupt as soon
as interrupts are enabled again.
- The two error interrupts are by definition combining all errors that
may have happened since the last time they were handled, but just
acknowledging the irq without dealing with the cause of the condition
makes it come back immediately. In particular, when NAPI is intentionally
stalling the rx queue, this causes a storm of "rx dropped" messages.
- The access to the 'reg_inten' field in hip_priv is used for serializing
access, but is in fact racy itself.
To deal with these issues, the driver is changed to only acknowledge
the IRQ at the point when it is being handled. The RX interrupts now get
acked right before reading the number of received frames to keep spurious
interrupts to the absolute minimum without losing interrupts.
As there is no tx-complete interrupt, only an informational tx-dropped
one, we now ack that in the tx reclaim handler, hoping that clearing
the descriptors has also eliminated the error condition.
The only place that reads the reg_inten now just relies on
napi_schedule_prep() to return whether NAPI is active or not, and
the poll() function is then going to ack and reenabled the IRQ if
necessary.
Finally, when we disable interrupts, they are now all disabled
together, in order to simplify the logic and to avoid getting
rx-dropped interrupts when NAPI is in control of the rx queue.
