Our friends in FreeBSD claim they can do 1Mpps _forwarding_ with
e1000 - forget about transmit only ;->
I have been experimenting after SUCON on and off because i found the BSD
folks batch their transmits. They have a very dumb egress with no QoS.
Results are not conclusive yet. I will post at some point.
Harald try to move the wmb() just before you write the TDT as i do in
kick_DMA in rearranged e1000 patch attached.
I will move things around if you show worse results.
BTW, anyone wanting to experiment on this patch talk to me privately. I
need to clean it up - maybe this weekend.
cheers,
jamal
