Subject: [PATCH net RFC 0/2] Series short description

This series contains patches which help resolve a 'sleeping function called
from invalid context' bug introduced by the busy polling code. The first patch
simply adds a might_sleep() call to napi_disable. The second patch provides the
actual fix for the sleeping during a local_bh_disable()d section of code. I
tried to Cc everyone that might be interested in the solution, as I am unsure
if my solution of moving the local_bh_disable() call is correct.
