Subject: Support PACKET_RX_RING and related
It would be useful in high-bandwidth (or strictly, high packet-rate) capture applications, to have access to the PACKET_RX_RING buffering, to avoid the per-packet syscall(s) overhead. This will need some special handling to allow a Perl program to correctly deal with the packet status field in the buffers, and possibly other headers. -- Paul Evans

I have an initial attempt now mostly working. With some further testing tomorrow on a variety of boxes, I suspect this could be declared release-able. -- Paul Evans
