That would be really great, thanks!  Make sure to add a protocol switch/loop 
somewhere so that the tests are run over UNIX domain sockets and SCTP, not 
just for TCP on IPv4 and IPv6.  I suspect sendfile() on non-TCP sockets 
doesn't see a whole lot of use, but needs to be exercised also.  Certainly 
SCTP will see a lot more use in the future.
