DESCRIPTION

16       This takes a network device structure and initialize the minimum amount
17       of fields so it can be used to schedule NAPI polls without registering
18       a full blown interface. This is to be used by drivers that need to tie
19       several hardware interfaces to a single NAPI poll scheduler due to HW
20       limitations.
