Many multiqueue drivers do exactly this.  NIU is but one example.

Every discrete event from the chip which can generate discrete
interrupts, uses a unique NAPI context.

If a single interrupt is used to indicate RX and TX, using seperate
NAPI contexts is not advisable.  It's just going to add overhead.
Great. Ben, David, Eric, thanks. I will try to use this.
