I was slightly astonished by the bad benchmark results. So, I tried
today's Genode master with the following scenario:

  * Genode on Lenovo T61 (82566mm, PCIe 8086:1049)
  * Linux on T410 (82577LM, PCIe 8086:10ea)

With your patch I got

  ! PERF: TCP_STREAM              2.02 MBit/s
  ! PERF: TCP_MAERTS              8.00 MBit/s

This substantiates my assumption that your implemented "polling"
degrades the performance significantly. The original code without
polling produces

  ! PERF: TCP_STREAM              65.59 MBit/s
  ! PERF: TCP_MAERTS              543.35 MBit/s

which is no top-notch result, but looks more promising. We did not
investigate the performance drop on TCP_STREAM up to now, but suspect
the NIC driver or its integration to be the cause.
