I would like to kill the RX side handling of netpoll too,
but I don't think that's reasonable as kgdb is actively
being pushed for 2.6.25 inclusion.
Andrew is likely to add it to his -mm tree soon and therefore kgdb
will need to work properly now.
The RX netpoll thing has a long precedence, it's been in the tree for
a long time, so we are in some ways stuck with it until we have a
complete replacement facility. That means we can't yank it out first
and implement the replacement later.
