Subject: [PATCH 14/21]: powerpc/cell spidernet NAPI polling info.
Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2006 16:13:05 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061010211305.GK4381@austin.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20061010204946.GW4381@austin.ibm.com>


This patch moves transmit queue cleanup code out of the 
interrupt context, and into the NAPI polling routine.
