Subject: [RFCv4 PATCH 0/2] net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscall

Hi,

	Nir, can you please test with this patchset and check if latency
numbers improved? They should, I think :-)

	New perf callgraphs here:

http://oops.ghostprotocols.net:81/acme/perf.recvmsg.step2.cg.data.txt.bz2

versus

http://oops.ghostprotocols.net:81/acme/perf.recvmmsg.step2.cg.data.txt.bz2

	Look at what appears now on the radar, its not locking :-)
	
	Or course, I need to do more tests, but it looks promising, please give
it a go and report back here if you can!
