I think it would be a good idea. You can stuff a lot of 68-byte packets
into a 32K or 64K contiguous buffer. Jes Sorensen wrote a patch a while
ago that sampling the incoming rate, and backed off if the rate was too
high -- basically a poor man's NAPI.
So, volunteers? Just convert the RX path to NAPI, not all interrupt events.
