I find something like this adds support for combining CMD_SYNC commands 
for regular polling mode:

I tested iperf on a 1G network link and was seeing 6-10% CMD_SYNC 
commands combined. I would really need to test this on a faster 
connection to see any throughout difference.

 From the above figures, I think leizhen was seeing 25% combine rate, right?

As for this code, it could be neatened...
