Actually this has been my gripe all along with our TX multiqueue
support. We should not decide the queue based on the socket, but
on the current CPU.

We already do the right thing for forwarded packets because there
is no socket to latch onto, we just need to fix it for locally
generated traffic.

The odd packet reordering each time your scheduler decides to
migrate the process isn't a big deal IMHO. If your scheduler
is constantly moving things you've got bigger problems to worry
about.

Cheers,
