Please help hold on to the patch for now. I think Martin is still
seeing issues on his setup even with this patch applied. I have not
yet figured out why. But I think we should not merge this patch until
the issue is cleared. Will update this thread with progress.  
If I'm looking right __busy_poll_stop() is only called if the last
napi poll used to re-enable IRQs consumed full budget. You need to
clear your new bit in busy_poll_stop(), not in __busy_poll_stop().
That will fix the case when hand off back to the normal poller (sirq,
or thread) happens without going thru __napi_schedule().  
If the budget is not fully consumed, napi_complete_done() should have
been called by the driver which will clear SCHED_BUSY_POLL bit.
Ah, right.
