1 pps! That is not that impressive ;-).

I ran some experiments and with two cores (app on one, softirq on
another) there is no impact since the application core has cycles to
spare. But if you run it on a single core the drop is 1- 2% for l2fwd.
I think this is ok since your version is a better example and more
correct. Just note that your patch did not apply cleanly to bpf-next,
so please rebase it, resubmit and I will ack it.
