    ethernet: If caller thread cpu is fixed, pass cpuid to ether_input_pkt()
    
    So we could use optimized lwkt_sendmsg_oncpu() instead of lwkt_sendmsg(),
    if the target netisr is on the same cpu as caller thread cpu.  Mainly to
    avoid unnecessary wakeup() IPIs to other cpus.
    
    THE RESULT:
    
    On i7-3770 w/ HT enabled (8 logical cpus); NIC is 82599ES w/ 8 RX rings
    and 8 TX rings.  Run:
        repeat 10 tcp_stream -H ... -i 256 -l 10 -r
    (256 netperf TCP_MAERTS instances for 10 seconds, 10 rounds)
    
    Total amount of cross IPIs before this commit is 6946097.  Total amount
    of cross IPIs as of this commit is 5445324.  ~22% unnecessary wakeup()
    IPIs are avoided!
