Hello!

Current NAPI incarnation came first for 2.4.3 and holds ANK trademark.
Jamal had pre-NAPI patches long before and we have been testing/profiling
polling and flow control versions of popular network drivers in the lab and
on on highly loaded Internet sites for a long time. I consider the NAPI
work to initiated by Jamal at OLS two years ago. No I don't know of any
usable code for 2.2.*

Cheers.
