I'm having a hard time to understand the commit log. I think it would
make it easier to read if you first clearly describe the bug you are
fixing and then, in a separate paragraph, tell how you fix it.

So what is the bug Denton reported? "we see big TP drop when TCP used"
implies that this happens with all TCP traffic, but that can't be right.
Or did it happen with one of the reorder patches?
