o.k. the bisect is pointing to the below results..
(I tried git revert xxx but this commit is too big
so I'll(hopefully)manually revert it on the latest HEAD to
see if this is the actual problem im experiencing)

    xfrm: cache bundles instead of policies for outgoing flows

    __xfrm_lookup() is called for each packet transmitted out of
    system. The xfrm_find_bundle() does a linear search which can
    kill system performance depending on how many bundles are
    required per policy.

    This modifies __xfrm_lookup() to store bundles directly in
    the flow cache. If we did not get a hit, we just create a new
    bundle instead of doing slow search. This means that we can now
    get multiple xfrm_dst's for same flow (on per-cpu basis).
