Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6] pktgen: NUMA aware

Now my Nehalem dev machine is truly NUMA, time for new patches :)

David, this applies on last pktgen version (after last patches you added in net-2.6).

Thanks

[PATCH net-next-2.6] pktgen: NUMA aware

pktgen threads are bound to given CPU, we can allocate memory for
these threads in a NUMA aware way.

After a pktgen session on two threads, we can check flows memory was
allocated on right node, instead of a not related one.

# grep pktgen_thread_write /proc/vmallocinfo 
0xffffc90007204000-0xffffc90007385000 1576960 pktgen_thread_write+0x3a4/0x6b0 [pktgen] pages=384 vmalloc N0=384
0xffffc90007386000-0xffffc90007507000 1576960 pktgen_thread_write+0x3a4/0x6b0 [pktgen] pages=384 vmalloc N1=384
