Re: [PATCH] tcpdump -s 0 improvement

I was under the impression that some of hte ring-buffer mechanisms need
packets to be aligned on MMU-sized boundaries so that the kernel can
play page-swapping games, rather than copying data.

If that's the case, then much of memory isn't really in use, just
virtual address space.
