Hi Chris, Valdis,

This is certainly interesting, and something that we'd really want to
try to get in upstream Linux since it's is so intrusive in the stack
(we have actually done quite a bit of work in this area already that
might be applicable).  Posting patches against davem's net-next branch
seems appropriate and you could certainly post them as RFC to start
some conversation.
