   the only thing that still has to be done is to remove things
   like daddr, saddr, rcv_saddr, dport, sport and other ipv4 specific members
   of struct sock

Actually, I'd like to keep the first couple cache lines of struct
sock the way it is :-(  For hash lookups the identity + the hash next
pointer fit perfectly in one cache line on nearly all platforms.

Which brings me to...
   
   Please let me know if this is something acceptable for 2.5.

What kind of before/after effect do you see in lat_tcp/lat_connect
(from lmbench) runs?

Franks a lot,
