Pool performance is optimized by using a ring as the global buffer storage. IPC build is disabled, since it needs large modifications due to dependency to pool internals. Old pool implementation was based on locks and linked list of buffer headers. New implementation maintain a ring of buffer handles, which enable fast, burst based allocs and frees. Also ring scales better with number of cpus than a list (enq and deq operations update opposite ends of the pool). Seqmentation was not implemented yet to limit the patch set size. Instead, each packet is created from single, fixed size (64kB) buffer. Segmentation and more efficient packet data pointer, etc operations will follow.

Otherwise, all cases were improved. Especially, scheduler driven cases suffered on bad pool scalability.
