For the IPoIB driver, it seems to be worth a couple percent.  It's
hard to get really consistent results but on my pair of test systems,
TCP throughput with netperf goes up by about 30 Mbps out of roughly
1900 Mbps total.  It's probably not worth the complexity in the net
core if all drivers only get that level of improvement.
