This patch allows running each napi poll loop inside its own kernel thread. The kthread is created during netif_napi_add() if dev->threaded is set. And threaded mode is enabled in napi_enable(). We will provide a way to set dev->threaded and enable threaded mode without a device up/down in the following patch. Once that threaded mode is enabled and the kthread is started, napi_schedule() will wake-up such thread instead of scheduling the softirq. The threaded poll loop behaves quite likely the net_rx_action, but it does not have to manipulate local irqs and uses an explicit scheduling point based on netdev_budget.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
