This doubles the kpps numbers for 60-byte packets.  I'd like to see what
happens on higher bus bandwidth systems.  Anyone?

Dual Xeon 2.4GHz, a 82540EM and a 82541GI both on 32/66 on separate
PCI buses.

BEFORE performance is approx the same for both, ~620kpps.
AFTER performance is ~730kpps, also approx the same for both.

(Note: only sending with one NIC at a time.)

Once or twice it went into a state where it started spitting out these
kinds of messages and never recovered:

	Dec  1 19:13:18 phi kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out
	[...]
	Dec  1 19:13:31 phi kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out
	[...]
	Dec  1 19:13:43 phi kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out

But overall, looks good.  Strange thing that Robert's numbers didn't
improve.  Doing some more measurements right now.
