I think this is great.
However if you accelerate only one end of the pipe, you won't gain much.
Humans are still required to write patches, this is inefficient.
Here is a suggestion:
diff --git a/devtools/infinite-monkey.sh b/devtools/infinite-monkey.sh
new file mode 100755
index 0000000000..7d637266d3
--- /dev/null

With proper perf testing at the other end, DPDK should be able to finally
become web-scale.
