I was running through the kernel janitors TODO list
(http://janitor.kernelnewbies.org/TODO) and thought I'd try to find
something easy for my first attempt at kernel hacking/maintenance.
The "Balancing Function" header suggests that all net_device interrupt
functions should use dev_kfree_skb_irq as opposed to dev_kfree_skb.
Should we ever be calling dev_kfree_skb directly, or would the better
practice be to always call dev_kfree_skb_any (thus letting the kernel
decide to call dev_kfree_skb or dev_kfree_skb_irq)?
dev_kfree_skb_any is defined in 'net/core/dev.c:1118'
