Re: [PATCH 1/6] ehea: interface to network stack

Is a conditional cheaper than a divide?  In case of a misprediction I
would assume it to be significantly slower and I don't know the ratio
of mispredictions for this branch.

A quick scan of the web shows 40 cycles for athlon64 idiv, and its
similarly slow on many other cpus. Even assuming you mispredict every
branch its going to be a win.
