The PE forward should get resolved at load time if I understand it
right. If it is not, benchmarks showing it to be a problem are needed.

Yeah, but that's a kernel32.dll implementation detail that ws2_32
shouldn't rely on without good reason.

Another possible consideration is compatibility with what native ws2_32
imports. If e.g. is is liked to kernelbase on modern windows and some
application breaks because kernel32.dll get loaded although it should
not then that would be a sound reason to change the import in our ws2_32
too.
