ah okay. Makes sense.

So we still end up with two interfaces. Do I move a few callers like the
one you already mentioned over to the __netif_rx() interface or will it
be the one previously mentioned for now?
Would something like

lower the overhead to acceptable range? (I still need to sell this to
