Sure, sounds good. I'll drop the fixes tag when I resend when
net-next is open, of course.

Hmm. We could; I think originally the busy_poller.c test was added
because it was requested by Paolo for IRQ suspension and netdevsim
was the only option that I could find that supported NAPI IDs at the
time.

busy_poller.c itself seems more like a selftests/net thing since
it's testing some functionality of the core networking code.

Maybe mixing the napi_id != 0 test into busy_poller.c is the wrong
way to go at a higher level. Maybe there should be a test for
netdevsim itself that checks napi_id != 0 and that test would make
more sense under drivers/net vs mixing a check into busy_poller.c?
