This is just a preliminary test result and not 100% reliable
because half through the testing the machine reported memory
issues and disabled a DIMM before booting the tested kernels.

Nevertheless, bind 9.7.3:

2.6.38-rc5+: 62kqps
2.6.38-rc5+ w/ Herbert's patch: 442kqps

This is on a 2 NUMA Intel Xeon X5560 @ 2.80GHz with 16 cores

Again, this number is not 100% reliably but clearly shows that
the concept of the patch is working very well.

Will test Herbert's patch on the machine that did 650kqps with
SO_REUSEPORT and also on some AMD machines.
