Fun :-)  I toyed around with this on my 128 cpu machine (2 NUMA
nodes, 64 cpus each NUMA node).

Vanilla net-next-2.6, no configuration changes:

tbench 64: Throughput 1843.43 MB/sec 64 procs
tbench 128: Throughput 1889.67 MB/sec 128 procs

Vanilla net-next-2.6, rps_cpus="ffffffff,ffffffff,ffffffff,ffffffff"

tbench 64: Throughput 1455.89 MB/sec 64 procs
tbench 128: Throughput 2009.91 MB/sec 128 procs

net-next-2.6 + Eric's port hashing patch, rps_cpus="ffffffff,ffffffff,ffffffff,ffffffff"

tbench 64: Throughput 1593.13 MB/sec 64 procs
tbench 128: Throughput 2367.27 MB/sec 128 procs
