Marvell Yukon II (msk driver) polling support

Hi All, 

I have a home NAS server with two Marvell Yukon II GBE NICs working in
aggregated mode (lagg, round-robin packet distribution). When I'm
measuring network performance using iperf, I'm getting near 1.5GBps
speed and one core of my old Xeon E5060 fully loaded with interrupts. 

Of course, I've thought about enabling polling to reduce CPU load, but
found, that msk driver doesn't support it. 

I've some experience with writing Windows drivers, and I've wrote a lot
of firmware for AVR8 MCUs. 

Can someone give me a starting point, I want to make a patch to msk
driver to enable support of polling? 

Regards,
Fossa.
