OK, we'll be getting rid of the "kick on full", so please delete that on
all benchmarks.

Now, does the capacity check before add_buf() still win anything?  I
can't see how unless we have some weird bug.

Once we've sorted that out, we should look at the more radical change
of publishing last_used and using that to intuit whether interrupts
should be sent.  If we're not careful with ordering and barriers that
could introduce more bugs.

Anything else on the optimization agenda I've missed?

Thanks,
Rusty.
