The symptom is that downloaded files (http, ftp, and probably other
protocols) have small corrupted segments (about 1-2 kilobytes long) in
random locations. Only downloads that sustain a high speed for at least a
few seconds are corrupted. Anything small enough to be received in less
than about 5 seconds is not affected.

Can that sucker be reproduced with netcat?  That would eliminate all issues
with multi-iovec recvmsg(2), narrowing the things down quite bit.

Another thing (and if that works, it's *NOT* a proper fix - it would be
papering over the problem, but at least it would show where to look for
it) - try (on top of mainline) the following delta:
