Hi David

Please find this patch against net-2.6.22

Thank you

[PATCH] NET : Optimizes inet_getpeer()

1) Some sysctl vars are declared __read_mostly

2) We can avoid updating stack[] when doing an AVL lookup only.

    lookup() macro is extended to receive a second parameter, that may be NULL 
in case of a pure lookup (no need to save the AVL path). This removes 
unnecessary instructions, because compiler knows if this _stack parameter is 
NULL or not.

    text size of net/ipv4/inetpeer.o is 2063 bytes instead of 2107 on x86_64
