Definitely, userspace application must be very smart to deal with
ip/tcp/option headers...
That is why we will put an offset+len in the ring so they need not
parse the packet headers.

If there is dataflow, not flow of packets or flow of data with holes,
it could be possible to modify recv() to just return the right pointer,
so in theory userspace modifications would be minimal.

Please just use existing AIO interface.
I totally disagree, the existing AIO interface is garbage.
We need new APIs to do this right, to get the ring buffer
and the zero-copy'ness correct.

The more complex userspace interface we create the less users it will
have. It is completely unconvenient to read 100 bytes and receive only
80, since 20 were eaten by header.
These bytes are charged to socket

There are two types of network related kevents - socket events
(recv/send/accept) and network aio, which can be turned completely off

At least for the TG3PCI_MEM_WIN_DATA register, I don't know how safe
it is to use tw32_f() there. Reads from a location can have side
effects, so doing a forced readback after a write could be dangerous.

A key part of this is the netfilter bits, that will require
