Funny you should mention that :)  In the top-of-trunk (perhaps it is in 
2.5.0 too, I do not recall) there is the global -Y option:

$ src/netperf -Y
src/netperf: option requires an argument -- 'Y'

Usage: netperf [global options] -- [test options]

Global options:
...
     -y local,remote   Set the socket priority
     -Y local,remote   Set the IP_TOS. Use hexadecimal.

So long as you either use the omni code directly, or indirectly by not 
undoing WANT_MIGRATION those should work - for some definition of work 
anyway...I would not be surprised to learn there are bugs in the support.

However, there is nothing presently in the netperf code to cause any 
*individual* send to be so marked independently of the others.

happy benchmarking,
