[PATCH] via-rhine: NAPI support
Add NAPI support to the via-rhine driver so that it can handle higher speeds and doesn't get overloaded by interrupts as easily.

+ help
+ NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
+ when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card.
+
+ If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
+ deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),
+ then say Y here.
+
+ See <file:Documentation/networking/NAPI_HOWTO.txt> for more
+ information.
