I didn't even want to submit this series in the first place but
people kept poking me endlessly about it.

This is probably the most reasonable.   KISS.

#define dev_consume_sky_any dev_kfree_skb_any

The correctness fix is updating the code to handle any context.  The
consume vs kfree accouting difference is not particularly interesting.

Eric, David,

what action should I take here?

1) take also:
commit e6247027e5173c00efb2084d688d06ff835bc3b0
Author: Eric Dumazet 
Date:   Thu Dec 5 04:45:08 2013 -0800

net: introduce dev_consume_skb_any()


2) drop 'gianfar: Carefully free skbs in functions called by netpoll'
from stable-3.12

3) any other idea?

thanks,
