[Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH 5/15] spidernet: turn off descriptor chain end interrupt.

[Linas Vepstas]

At some point, the transmit descriptor chain end interrupt (TXDCEINT)
was turned on. This is a mistake; and it damages small packet
transmit performance, as it results in a huge storm of interrupts.  
Turn it off.
