Understood.

However, I was wondering if you could do this in software.  When URBs
trigger, just queue that pending work up in a software queue when NAPI
is scheduled, then when you exit NAPI polling you check that queue to
see if there are interrupt events to process.

Similarly to how we handle software interrupts.

Anyways, just an idea.
