Drivers supporting NAPI should use a NAPI-specific function for receiving packets. Hence netif_rx is changed to netif_receive_skb.
Furthermore netif_napi_del should be used in the probe and remove function to clean up the NAPI resource information.
Thanks to Francois Romieu, David Shwatrz and Rami Rosen for their help on this patch.

--- I still don't understand the reason for choosing netif_receive_skb, specifically. This patch is not tested.
This driver is not the only one with the netif_rx() used with NAPI issue. I also overlooked this when converting drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c to NAPI. I'll try to change the call and see if netperf would behave better...
