This patch adds a multiple message send syscall and is the send
version of the existing recvmmsg syscall. This is heavily
based on the patch by Arnaldo that added recvmmsg.
I wrote a microbenchmark to test the performance gains of using
this new syscall:
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/sendmmsg_test.c
The test was run on a ppc64 box with a 10 Gbit network card. The
benchmark can send both UDP and RAW ethernet packets.
64B UDP
batch   pkts/sec
1       804570
2       872800 (+ 8 %)
4       916556 (+14 %)
8       939712 (+17 %)
16      952688 (+18 %)
32      956448 (+19 %)
64      964800 (+20 %)
64B raw socket
batch   pkts/sec
1       1201449
2       1350028 (+12 %)
4       1461416 (+22 %)
8       1513080 (+26 %)
16      1541216 (+28 %)
32      1553440 (+29 %)
64      1557888 (+30 %)
We see a 20% improvement in throughput on UDP send and 30%
on raw socket send.
