I tried something similar on the netsec driver on my initial development. 
On the 1gbit speed NICs i saw no difference between flushing per packet vs
flushing on the end of the NAPI handler. 
The latter is obviously better but since the performance impact is negligible on
this particular NIC, i don't think this should be a blocker. 
Please add a clear comment on this and why you do that on this driver,
so people won't go ahead and copy/paste this approach 


Thanks
