This could still starve on the RX ring level of the hardware which
you cant control.

But it might be an improvement, agreed. The problem is that you
need lots of infrastructure to tell the driver about TCP connections -
it is pretty much near all the work needed for zero copy RX.

Even with all that work it is  not the 100% solution some people on this thread
seem to be lusting for.
