Subject: using netif_rx while NAPI is used?

I have a special case (VPN router) where I sometimes need to bounce up
a packet (after being marked) that is impossible to transmit using the
netif_rx() callback. The interface normally uses NAPI and therefore is
polled in the RX direction. Will it still work to pass a small amount
of packets directly up to the kernel using the netif_rx() callback?
