Most of the overhead (get_user_pages) is per recv, not on a per packet
basis.  Regardless of packet size, we offload the copies if the total
requested data amount is 2k or greater.  So while there's no
aggregation of TCP segments before the socket level, we are talking
about copying multiple packets per I/O.
