Subject: [PATCH net 0/2] __napi_schedule_irqoff() used in wrong context

I found three cases where __napi_schedule_irqoff() could be used with
enabled interrupts while looking for something else… There are patches
for two of them.

The third one, hyperv/netvsc, is wrong with the `threadirqs' commandline
option because the interrupt will be delivered directly via the vector
and not the thread. I will try to sort this out with the x86 folks.
