I made a separate function because:
  - tg3_napi_init would need two calls (once for i=0, and once in
    the loop), and
  - tg3_napi_init and tg3_napi_enable are separated in the driver,
    so I figured I'd separate the IRQ linking, too.

Can you let me know if you want me to submit a v2 which modifies
tg3_napi_init instead?
