It wasn't an NFS socket, as NFS wasn't even active at the time.  I'm reasonably
sure that multiple sockets were in play, given that tcp_v6_rcv and
udpv6_queue_rcv_skb were both implicated.  I strongly suspect that pretty much
any IPv6 traffic could do it - the frequency dropped off quite a bit when I
closed firefox, which is usually a heavy network hitter on my laptop.
