+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: add a function for running rx without passing skbs
+ to the stack
+
+This can be used to run mac80211 rx processing on a batch of frames in NAPI
+poll before passing them to the network stack in a large batch.
+This can improve icache footprint, or it can be used to pass frames via
+netif_receive_skb_list.
