I'd drop the != NULL, but no strong feelings :)

Nit: I'd prefer braces on the loop, just makes it nicer to read IMHO.

OTOH, the !napi case should use netif_receive_skb_list(), no?

Given the discussion, it also seems a bit odd to add more work for NAPI
poll where we process one by one ... But I see why you did that, and I
guess it's not actually that much more work.
