In the absence, of anyone else reporting performance numbers with this
patchset, I ran a single-thread testpmd test using 2 x 40G ports (i40e)
driver. With RX & TX descriptor ring sizes of 512 or above, I'm seeing a
fairly noticable performance drop. I still need to dig in more, e.g. do
an RFC2544 zero-loss test, and also bisect the patchset to see what
parts may be causing the problem.

Has anyone else tried any other drivers or systems to see what the perf
impact of this set may be?
