Yes, measuring streaming bandwidth probably does not make sense yet, as
I do not have GSO, and I do not have VM exit mitigation. But RSN.

Meanwhile udp_rr does not need any of these, so I checked that and numbers look
like what you'd expect. My systems seem slower than yours, but the
virtualization overhead is same: around 20us (sometimes it's a bit higher, up
to 25us).
