My goal isn't really to move all Packet references out of core at this
time, I'm merely trying out a different way of implementing LL client
connections than that provided by libomv.

We have reasons to believe that it will increase performance, but it's
possible that due to other issues (such as boxing) this might not be
the case. Consider this somewhat of an experiment, not a final redesign.

Thanks,
