Probably no, because only br_netpoll_cleanup() will be called
no matter if CONFIG_NET_POLL_CONTROLLER is defined.

Yes? netpoll_send_skb() needs to see IFF_IN_NETPOLL is set, so
we can't clear this bit before calling it.
But we do need a find a safe way to check/set this flag.

Ok, good point.

Yes? The first messages explains the reason for the second message.
