Nobody else makes this distinction, all packets should be processed
via your NAPI path.

When I see people conditionally invoking netif_rx()
vs. netif_receive_skb() in their packet receive routine, like
conditional locking, it's a big red flag.

Furthermore, you should pass the NAPI context into ravb_rx() and use
it so that you can invoke napi_gro_receive() on all of the packets and
therefore support GRO.
