We actually carry that in our production kernel and have updated it to
build on 3.11, I'll run it and netperf TCP_RR as well, thanks.

Google also uses it exclusively so I'm definitely not saying that since
it's not default that we can ignore it. I haven't seen any performance

and netperf TCP_RR when I have them.
