e100 is NAPI all the time, so the Kconfig option is wasting space.

-         NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
-         when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
-         still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.

-         If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
-         deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),
-         then say Y here.
