Hi Dave,

	The second patch in this series has issues, I still have to
investigate it properly, study removing the skb_queue_head lock like TCP
does, but the first patch seems to be OK and already providing good
results at least as reported by Nir, if there aren't any other concerns
about the API, can we get it into net-next-2.6?

Best Regards,
