o.k. the bisect is pointing to the below results..
(I tried git revert xxx but this commit is too big
so I'll(hopefully)manually revert it on the latest HEAD to
see if this is the actual problem im experiencing)



80c802f3073e84c956846e921e8a0b02dfa3755f is the first bad commit

     xfrm: cache bundles instead of policies for outgoing flows

     __xfrm_lookup() is called for each packet transmitted out of
     system. The xfrm_find_bundle() does a linear search which can
     kill system performance depending on how many bundles are
     required per policy.

     This modifies __xfrm_lookup() to store bundles directly in
     the flow cache. If we did not get a hit, we just create a new
     bundle instead of doing slow search. This means that we can now
     get multiple xfrm_dst's for same flow (on per-cpu basis).
