I want to make some progress on this, so let's break this up into smaller 
parts.

First, I think both calls to rearm_queues() should be removed.  In the case of 
the local timer, this can only re-enable interrupts if the interrupt handler 
is already scheduled or running or its associated task is running.  In the 
last case this means the ithread can run concurrently with the interrupt 
handler causing out-of-order processing.  The rxeof case has the same issue.  
Normally the code calling rxeof is going to re-enable the interrupt if rxeof 
runs to completion, and if not it is going to schedule the taskqueue.  The 
effect of the rxeof change was to always re-enable interrupts before 
scheduling the taskqueue which can result in those running concurrently.
