Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6] inetpeer: lower false sharing effect

Profiles show false sharing in addr_compare() because refcnt/dtime
changes dirty the first inet_peer cache line, where are lying the keys
used at lookup time. If many cpus are calling inet_getpeer() and
inet_putpeer(), or need frag ids, addr_compare() is in 2nd position in
"perf top".

Before patch, my udpflood bench (16 threads) on my 2x4x2 machine :

             5784.00  9.7% csum_partial_copy_generic [kernel]
             3356.00  5.6% addr_compare              [kernel]
             2638.00  4.4% fib_table_lookup          [kernel]
             2625.00  4.4% ip_fragment               [kernel]
             1934.00  3.2% neigh_lookup              [kernel]
             1617.00  2.7% udp_sendmsg               [kernel]
             1608.00  2.7% __ip_route_output_key     [kernel]
             1480.00  2.5% __ip_append_data          [kernel]
             1396.00  2.3% kfree                     [kernel]
             1195.00  2.0% kmem_cache_free           [kernel]
             1157.00  1.9% inet_getpeer              [kernel]
             1121.00  1.9% neigh_resolve_output      [kernel]
             1012.00  1.7% dev_queue_xmit            [kernel]

After patch, no more addr_compare() in profiles :
