    1) Some sysctl vars are declared __read_mostly
    
    2) We can avoid updating stack[] when doing an AVL lookup only.
    
        lookup() macro is extended to receive a second parameter, that may be NULL
    in case of a pure lookup (no need to save the AVL path). This removes
    unnecessary instructions, because compiler knows if this _stack parameter is
    NULL or not.
    
        text size of net/ipv4/inetpeer.o is 2063 bytes instead of 2107 on x86_64
