I'm considering testing a different approach (with mt76 initially):
- Add a mac80211 rx function that puts processed skbs into a list
instead of handing them to the network stack directly.

Would this be *after* all the mac80211 processing, i.e. in place of the
rx-up-to-stack?
Yes, it would run all the rx handlers normally and then put the
resulting skbs into a list instead of calling netif_receive_skb or
napi_gro_frags.

Whatever came of this? I realized I'm running Felix's patch since his mt76
driver needs it. Any chance it will go upstream?

Thanks,
Ben
