* dns:
  * Add `verbatim` option to dns.lookup(). When true, results from the
    DNS resolver are passed on as-is, without the reshuffling that
    Node.js otherwise does that puts IPv4 addresses before IPv6

* perf_hooks:
  * An initial implementation of the Performance Timing API for
    Node.js. This is the same Performance Timing API implemented by
    modern browsers with a number of Node.js specific properties. The
    User Timing mark() and measure() APIs are implemented, as is a
    Node.js specific flavor of the Frame Timing for measuring event
    loop duration.
