Is there any reason why we want the upstream kernel to have both NAPI
and non-NAPI support? If so, then this should probably be settable
through Kconfig rather than having to edit the Makefile to change the
NES_NAPI define. However, what almost always seems to happen is that
no one uses the non-default code and it ends up bitrotting to the
point of not compiling. So I would strongly suggest just having the
NAPI code and getting rid of the NES_NAPI tests entirely. Is there
any reason not to do that?
- R.
