This is a misleading changelog.

You forgot to describe how you allowed busy polling, as it is not
'automatic'

If not, this patch adds two spinlock/unlock pairs in fast path.

Also, it looks like you could split this in smaller patches.

virtnet_napi_disable_all() & virtnet_napi_enable_all() could be added in
a separate patch for example.
