Ok, I'll get you the numbers for this later, and sure, if we do
this, we should solve the ipv6 problem too.

BTW, the ipv6 nov3 paths have severe alignment issues. I flagged
this a long time ago http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg336257.html

I think all of it is triggered by mld. Someone needs to do
something about that too. I dont think those paths are using 
NET_ALIGN very well, and I dont think this is the most wholesome
thing for perf.
