The ~10k lines of code is in a software interrupt
(netisr) routine. In the hardware interrupt
(ether_input() ) the packets are queued and the
software interrupt scheduled. All the work is done in
the software interrupt routine. Sorry if I did not
explain this clearly before. Does everything discussed
so far still apply? If so, I can't see any way to do
this differently right now. Back to the drawing
boards, I guess.
