I agree to adding the bug fix, it's a bug fix and for code we can't
remove from the 2.4.x series at this point.

I don't agree to adding usage of this deprecated feature to any
drivers shipped in the kernel.  If you're going to invest time into
making this kind of improvement, invest it in a NAPI port.

So I'll add your bug fix, thanks.
