Hi all,

This is subset 1 of the RDS-TCP bug fix collection series I posted last
week.  The greater series aims to correct multiple rds-tcp bugs that
can cause dropped or out of sequence messages.  The set was starting to
get a bit large, so I've broken it down into smaller sets to make
reviews more manageable.

In this subset, we focus on work queue scalability.  Messages queues
are refactored to operate in parallel across multiple connections,
which improves response times and avoids timeouts.

The entire set can be viewed in the rfc here:

Questions, comments, flames appreciated!
Thanks!
Allison
