I tried to re-test it but I didn't get very far because the kernel
with your patch crashes regularly during netperf. No serial console,
but the backtrace is {tcp_ack+877} {tcp_rcv_established+350} ...
Before that there are a few "retrans out leaked" messages.

I just tried to re-create this situation, and I got the same problem.
Latest bk tree with dave's 5 patches, gcc 3.3.4, uni-processor p4/e1000 to
a slow-ish p3/sk98lin (dual-cpu but with maxcpus=1).

I just crashed too, no backtrace. netperf tcp stream test,
and was on bk14 + dave's 5 patches, p4/e1000 -> Intel Pentium
M proc (1.7GHz). Going to repeat on slower SMPs with serial
console, get more info..

thanks,
