I have an opinion, yes :) which I despise myself for holding...
I don't like either name, but don't have any better suggestions either,
besides something extremely verbose like ->process_hw_events().
"poll_controller" is annoying because (a) it's way too close to NAPI,
but (b) it's a reasonably accurate description of what it does.
I think "netpoll" is even worse... It describes who calls it, not what
it does.
