For the poll_controller routines (which is what this patch is about),
quite a few do (bnx2, bnx2x, b44, e1000, and e1000e to name a few).

Much like the other drivers for Intel hardware, the function with
'netpoll' in the name is used for the poll_controller routine whereas
the napi poll routines all have 'clean' in the name.

Sorry if 'most' was misleading, but there are quite a few drivers that
do.
