The only case I can think of is when {en,de}capsulating VLANs in
software.

But those are really small header sized copies, and would never
trigger the unrolled loop which requires len >= 128.

A quick grep shows something similar for wireless WEP/WPA, but not
only are these small copies too but I don't have any wireless on
any of my sparc boxes :-)

It really is just SLAB/SLUB with large NR_CPU configurations.
