Subject: [RFC net-next 0/1] idpf: Don't hardcode napi_struct size

Greetings:

While working on an RFC which adds fields to napi_struct [1], I got a
warning from the kernel test robot about tripping an assertion in idpf
which seems to hardcode the size of napi_struct. The assertion was
triggered after applying patch 3 from the RFC [2].

I'm submitting this as an RFC so the Intel folks have time to take a
look and request changes, but I plan to submit this next week when
net-next reopens.

I did not want to the include this change in my RFC v4 because I wanted
to keep the review of that RFC focused on the in core work instead, so I
was hoping Intel would be OK to merge this (or a change which
accomplishes the same thing).

Please note: I do not have this hardware and thus have only compile
tested this.

Thanks,
Joe
