Yep, I got kind of stuck for letters as I added more and more test
suites to netperf, so I had to go with two different getopt() passes.
And of course, updates to the manual that I'm sure everyone reads :)

BTW, you can say -s 256K and that will expand internally to 262144.
Also, if you specify -S and -S, the defaults for -m and -M will key off
of that. So, the command line above can be written as:

netperf <globals> -- -s 256K -S 256K

Anyone trying the experimental netperf3 stuff? I'd really like to get
some feedback on that.
