NAK. Please see long discussion on netdev couple of months ago about
netpoll and how it is horribly broken.
In short, to implement netpoll support in EMAC driver requires full
locking re-do (all locks must be IRQ disabling). I'm not gonna do
this, because it's wrong approach.
If you want netpoll support, figure out a way to do this correctly,
without penalizing users of EMAC driver by switching to IRQ locks.
