Apache Developers,

Here is my seventh patch increasing Apache's performance.  This one adds
a new way around the multiple-socket accept serialization problem.

The new SingleListen directive controls the set of IP addresses (and
ports) to which child processes listen.  When SingleListen is on, each
child process listens to a single IP address and port from the list
specified using Listen directives.  Listen addresses are distributed
evenly across child processes.

Also, the Listen directive now takes an optional CPU-num argument which
specifies the CPU to which Apache child processes listening exclusively
to this address/port should be bound.

The base for this patch is Apache/1.3.6 + 10x performance increase
patches #1 through #6.

As always, I welcome your review, questions, and feedback.
