SubjectRe: route cache DoS testing and softirqs

It cannot poll much more... 20 Million packets were injected in total
there were 250 RX irq's. Most from my ssh sessions. There are some TX
interrupts... it's another story

Packet flooding is just our way to generate load and kernel locking must
work with and without irq's. As far as I understand the real problem is
when do_softirq is run from irqexit etc.

Some thoughts...

If we tag the different do_softirq sources (look in my testpatch) we can
control the softirqs better. For example; do_softirq's from irqexit etc
could be given low a "max_restart" this to move processing to ksoftird
maybe even dynamic.

Cheers.
