I did it last fall and was told about the ktr stuff, and that my
code replicates those functionalities (i do not totally agree, they
operate on a different granularity, but that's another story).
Anyways, there is no equivalent of this stuff on -stable, and i
strongly believe that we need tools like this to do performance
tuning, and we need them badly.

That is why i think this code certainly belongs to -stable, and
why i did the commit.
You are welcome to have different opinions, which i respect -- but
these are just our opinions, so lets wait what others think.

Feel free to bring this issue to -core, i will be glad to obey to
whatever they decide, as i did in the past.

But i want to emphasize that as usual this thread is about 20 lines
of conditionally compiled code which will never ever interfere with
anything else in the system.

I am working on both. Just count how many commits i did on the
networking stack on -current in this last two weeks.

could be, you can never be sure... Sure it looks like you are
reacting in the same way, maybe you win again :)


You know one thing, you should add an "... and vice versa"
you your signature, it seems to work quite well both ways:
