It is true that its only used to call napi_disable so if you prefer
to have it removed let me know?

I think it looks nicer with the variable, but it's your driver.

Yes; it is skipped for XDP queues, but they could be supported in
the future.

Other drivers that support this API work similarly (see also: bnxt,
ice, mlx4, etc).

Can you please let me know (explicitly) if you want me to send a
second revision (when net-next allows for it) to remove the 'struct
napi_struct' and add a comment as described above?
