I agree with Andy. We still keep one reinject (netif_rx), which is probably better that two 
(__netif_receive_skb), but not enough.

I really think we need a general framework for late delivery of final packets to packet handler 
registered somewhere in the rx_handler path.

Jiri, is this patch the one you announced as "I have some kind nice solution in mind and I'm going 
to submit that as a patch later (too many patches are in the wind atm)" ?
