I've applied both inetpeer patches.  I also no longer have inet_getpeer
and inet_putpeer and addr_compare in my profile.  Instead, neighbor
lookup is now dominant.  See profile below.

When I retest with original 3.0-rc2 kernel, inet_putpeer no longer shows
up, wonder if dst->peer was not set for some reason.
