This wont be enough to truly get an idea of the gains this patch brings.

Add some random drops in the equation, and instead of dropping packets,
we gently add them in the out of order queue, gently coalesce them,
gently allow SACK enabled flows to recover thanks to fast retransmits,
with no latency effect (No expensive collapse/prunes)

# nstat -az|egrep "TCPRcvCoalesce|TCPOFOQueue|TCPRcvCollapsed|Prune"
TcpExtPruneCalled               118                0.0
TcpExtRcvPruned                 0                  0.0
TcpExtOfoPruned                 0                  0.0
TcpExtTCPRcvCollapsed           1009               0.0
TcpExtTCPRcvCoalesce            857806             0.0
TcpExtTCPOFOQueue               201246             0.0

Yep, we _might_ consume some cpu cycles in the perfect case where no
packet was dropped, but this is kind of an utopia.
