Leaving this in place does not harm, right? This would speed up things
for x86_64.
It looks like s390 allocates larger page there to accomodate each
netlink event.
All this probing and guess games could be fixed if there is a
getsockopt() to fetch sk->sk_rmem_alloc, this is already exposed in
netlink via /proc. Later :-)
