Recent NAPI changes require that napi_enable() is always matched with
a napi_disable(). This patch makes sure that this invariant holds for
e100. It also moves the netif_napi_add() call until after private
pointers have been intialized, though this might only be significant
for cases where netpoll is being used.

Just wondering, could we even reverse this order? IOW disable NAPI first, then add it ?

I think the order shouldn't matter. DaveM?

Otherwise this sounds OK to me.
