No, this does not happen on the mv64360. As I recall, that message occurs
when something attempts to queue a packet to a driver that has called
netif_stop_queue() but hasn't yet called netif_wake_queue(). I would
guess that when you turn debug on, you are changing the driver logic
in addition to the timing.
