Yes, I think so.  The MSIX mode in bnx2 is also auto-masking, meaning
that MSIX will only assert once after it is ARMed.  If we return from
->poll() when budget of 0 is reached without ARMing, we may not get
another MSIX.

I can work on a similar patch but I don't have bnx2 cards to test with
anymore.  Thanks.
