Stephen,
This is code of bd_poll().
Do you mean remove napi_stop stuff?

static int bdx_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
{
...
        work_done = bdx_rx_receive(priv, &priv->rxd_fifo0, budget);
        if ((work_done < budget) ||
            (priv->napi_stop++ >= 30)) {
                DBG("rx poll is done. backing to isr-driven\n");

                /* from time to time we exit to let NAPI layer release
                 * device lock and allow waiting tasks (eg rmmod) to advance) */
                priv->napi_stop = 0;

                netif_rx_complete(dev, napi);
                bdx_enable_interrupts(priv);
                if (unlikely(work_done == napi->weight))
                        return work_done - 1;
        }
        return work_done;
}

Thanks,
Joonwoo
