Hi Dave,
This looks good! It might be nice though to go further and remove the
internal napi_struct. It's kind of a wart for multi-queue drivers which
are going to have their own array (or whatever).
But I can do that as a separate patch if you think it's a decent idea.
The name "NAPI" is also a wart, but I guess it's everywhere now so one
more place isn't making things worse...
Cheers,
Rusty.
