We're discussing the idea to do the defragmentation first
so we can choose the flow properly and steer the packet
to the correct cpu.

This also would allos each fragmented packet to traverse the
stack only once (one route lookup etc.) instead of once per
fragment.

Please read the rest of this thread, we have discussed this
and now I'm repeating information solely for your benefit.
