Currently, no in-tree drivers use it. Switch all Intel Ethernet drivers to it to get slight-to-medium perf boosts depending on the frame size. ice driver, 50 Gbps link, pktgen + XDP_PASS (local in) sample: frame_size/nthreads 64/42 128/20 256/8 512/4 1024/2 1532/1 net-next (Kpps) 46062 34654 18248 9830 5343 2714 series 47438 34708 18330 9875 5435 2777 increase 2.9% 0.15% 0.45% 0.46% 1.72% 2.32% Additionally, e1000's been switched to napi_consume_skb() as it's safe and works fine there, and there's no point in napi_build_skb() without paired NAPI cache feeding point.
