Subject: Allow controlling NAPI weight with sysfs

Hello

I am working to allow controlling napi weight on kernel 3.18
If may i ask, is it achievable since NAPI interface structure in
current kernels is managed by the driver?

This feature was presented on kernel 2.6.12, here is a patch that can show
 how was that implemented:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=111773621018096&w=2

As soon as on later kernel the weight was inserted on napi_struct, the
weight wasn't exposed any more for every interface wth sysfs.

Please, any help or idea is very appreciated.

Best Regards
