So everybody jumped on GRO, while my concern was more the napi->dev
thing.

I pointed to gro because the commit was about gro, but gro was fine
IMHO.

Are we sure netpoll is ok ?
Netpoll is dependent on napi->netdev but does not cause problems.
The sky2 driver doesn't expose netpoll on second port.
The second port has different net_device_ops without netpoll.
Ah, great, thanks for clarification.
