Just to clear misunderstandings if any, all the numbers in the
cover-letter were measured on the same kernel and during the same
boot, and it doesn't include the skb_orphan_frags_rx() change.
All double checked by looking at the traces.

When it's routed through the loopback paths (e.g. -D 127.0.0.1),
it's indeed slow for both msg_zerocopy and send-zc, and both
"benefit" in raw throughput from the hack.
