Oops, this was an old version, the up2date ones also took care of "used"
field.

I guess its time for a sleep, sorry again.

[PATCH net-next V2] neigh: reorder struct neighbour fields

(refcnt) and (ha_lock, ha, used, dev, output, ops, primary_key) should
be placed on a separate cache lines.

refcnt can be often written, while other fields are mostly read.

This gave me good result on stress test :

before:

real    0m45.570s
user    0m15.525s
sys     9m56.669s

After:

real    0m41.841s
user    0m15.261s
sys     8m45.949s
