Idea to make a kickass TCP read!

Here's the thought.

What if we created a read call that was identical in every way, except
you passed it a SHM handle. It would directly write the data to the
SHM segment rather than doing a NIC -> kernel -> user operation?

This would make a one copy high performance, low-latency TCP read for
the Cluster nuts.
