Btw, as far as I can tell, that function had never been tested with any 
polling. It had a line like

	netif_napi_add(netdev, &nesvnic->napi, nes_netdev_poll, 128);

but that line was _before_ 'nesvnic' was actually initialized (well, it 
had been initialized to NULL, so it passed in some NULL-pointer-offset to 
that function).

I moved that initialization up in the merge, but I obviously didn't test 
anything. So I'd suggest somebody actually test this case, because it 
clearly must have  gotten no testing at all.
