1) Please respond to netdev-bot+sashiko@xxxxxxxxxx, we don't use
the global bot (you only got a reply from it because you CCed half
of the universe for no real reason).
2) Some data showing the win from this on real production workloads
would be nice.
3) The API looks backwards? I'd think that most users would want an opt
in for sockets they care about rather than having to chase down every
other socket on the system to exclude?
4) Please trim the slop in the documentation.
