+Subject: [PATCH] bgmac: leave interrupts disabled as long as there is work
+ to do
+
+Always poll rx and tx during NAPI poll instead of relying on the status
+of the first interrupt. This prevents bgmac_poll from leaving unfinished
+work around until the next IRQ.
+In my tests this makes bridging/routing throughput under heavy load more
+stable and ensures that no new IRQs arrive as long as bgmac_poll uses up
+the entire budget.
