I haven't seen it causing any issue during my testing, although it went 
through several XenRT nighlies. That topic 
("RING_HAS_UNCONSUMED_REQUESTS oddness" on xen-devel) came from 
theoretical grounds. One outcome of it is that we should move that 
napi_schedule from the callback to the end of the dealloc thread to be 
on the safe side. I can post a short patch for that.
