Uhm... I fear the above makes the available options list empty :(

With such idea in place, what HDLC-level data will be accessed by the
napi context? The RX interrupts will remain unmasked after the
interrupt and before the napi poll right? That would be
problematic/could cause drop if the ingress pkt/interrupt rate will be
higher that what the napi could process - and that in turn could bring
back old bad livelock times :(
