[tor-dev] KIST somewhat implemented

[Nick Mathewson]

Hi!

So, Rob came up with this clever way to use help from an OS kernel to
improve Tor's performance:

I've got a sketchy implementation together now.

See my comments on the end of ticket 12890.  I have a branch which I
believe implements something like the KIST algorithm for Linux as I
discussed with Rob.  I made a list of not-yet-implemented issues.

Rob, could you please let me know which of the issues I listed need to
be fixed before this is reasonably testable?

cheers,
