Grepping the kernel I see that forcedeth has the second lowest value of all ethernet drivers (ie, 6). Most are in the 20-40 range. So this patch increases this a bit, from 6 to 15 (at 15 forcedeth becomes the driver with third-lowest max_interrupt_work value). My test stand, which used to print out the above warnings repetitively whenever it was under heavy net load, no longer does so.
