[openib-general] Suggestion to remove NAPI with IPoIB from OFED 1.2 
release
> I suggest that in OFED 1.2 we will not include the NAPI support
> The reasons are:
>
>    * IBM interrupt handler change to support NAPI will not be ready on 
time
>    * IPoIB UD with NAPI was not tested thoroughly
>    * IPoIB CM mode was tested without NAPI and got to a good stability.

If we remove NAPI, does that remove the rotting packet fix from OFED 1.2 
also? If it does I think we still need to keep the rotting packet code in.

> If no one objects I will change the OFED 1.2 plan
