And for high performance, I suspect the right way to do it is to share
some buffer space (preferably shared all the way down to the
network card), and send a messages when a packet is written to the
buffer, and when a packet have been completely processed so that the
buffer can be reused.

Hmm, such a shared queue sounds like a generally useful thing, for
various i/o tasks. Do you already have a library that does that under
l4?
