Apologies if I misunderstood. You said to make it optional which I did with the static key in the second patch of this series. The first patch is indeed not what we talked about I just to show what it would look like now that there is no "delay" for backlog-NAPI on the local CPU.
If the optional part is okay then I can repost only that patch against current net-next.
