That doc is out of date on the split of work - it focusses mostly
describing the original tulip which did not mix rx and tx in the
napi_poll(). AFAIK, no driver does that today (although i really liked
that scheme, there is a lot of fscked hardware out there that wont work
well with that scheme). Where are the firemen when you need them? 

Scanning your changes on the drivers for hardware i possess, I dont see
any issues.

cheers,
