Disabling Hyper-Threading in BIOS helped the accuracy, now the latency
variation is below 0.1ns min:-0.031 and max:0.054 over 120 sec.

Still using:
 # tuned-adm profile latency-performance

With no HT:
 * instant rx:1 tx:5597616 pps n:120 average: rx:1 tx:5596283 pps
  (instant variation TX 0.043 ns (min:-0.031 max:0.054) RX 0.000 ns)

With this setup, I think we are ready to measure the effect of our API
changes with sufficient accuracy.
