Also, another useful mode of steering would be to steer packets to a
socket which was recently processed by a thread running on the same
CPU; somewhat analogous to RFS (cc'ed WIllem Bruijn who is already
working on this I believe).
This sounds like a good way to overload a local socket and prevent
pushing the work to lesser used sockets on other cpus.
Sure, it you're not using RPS or RSS!  These should already be
distributing the RX work amongst CPUs.
