I tried it but it doesnt help. The real problems are much more fundamental
but only really come into play with SMP and very fast networks. Networking
gets faster at a different speed to memory, and machine properties change
dramatically over time.
For 2.3.x we realistically have to be forwarding packets off interrupts,
doing intelligent interrupt reduction (something 1Gbit cards are actually
normally good at without much help) and making net_bh a per cpu handler.
