Here you use a plain spin_lock(), but every other lock has the _bh()
variant. A few lines above this functions acquires a mutex, so this is
process context (and not BH context): I guess you should use _bh()
here, too.

It looks like the above enum is not used anymore, you can drop it.

Minor nit: since this code has complete ownership of the pkts queue,
you can use the lockless dequeue variant here:

	while ((skb = __skb_dequeue(&pkts))) {

Other then that LGTM. @Michael: feel free to take this via your tree,
once that the above feedback has been addressed, thanks!
