with the help of the great folks at myricom, we've
been able to find a couple of performance limitations
and fix a few bugs. we were able to transfer aoe at >1GB/s
between two modest (3 year old) 1.86ghz intel 5000 xeons.

this patch uses the vmappat patch which is now out-of-date.
a redo is available at /n/sources/contrib/quanstro/patredux.
this patch is not required but helps if you are using "small"
packets. by small, i mean < 8k. to remove, just turn vmappat
to vmap without the 3d arg.
since we are not using msi interrupts, the coal parameter
(interrupt coalesing) is fairly sensitve. this is because the
dance even mp interrupts need to do takes many cycles.
it's amazing how many apics, i/o apics and other nonsense
is involved on a modern pcie machine. i have used values
from 15-50µs with the current code. ymmv.
