packet along with data, instead of in their own packet. When serving files
of size (packetsize - headersize) or smaller, this will result in one less
packet crossing the network. Quick testing with thttpd and http_load has
shown a noticeable performance improvement in this case (350 vs 330 fetches
per second.)
Included in this commit are two support routines, iov_to_uio, and m_uiotombuf;
these routines are used by sendfile to construct the header mbuf chain that
will be linked to the rest of the data in the socket buffer.

would allocate two 'struct pipe's from the pipe zone, and malloc a
mutex.
- Create a new "struct pipepair" object holding the two 'struct
pipe' instances, struct mutex, and struct label reference. Pipe
structures now have a back-pointer to the pipe pair, and a
'pipe_present' flag to indicate whether the half has been
closed.
- Perform mutex init/destroy in zone init/destroy, avoiding
reallocating the mutex for each pipe. Perform most pipe structure
setup in zone constructor.
- VM memory mappings for pageable buffers are still done outside of
the UMA zone.
- Change MAC API to speak 'struct pipepair' instead of 'struct pipe',
update many policies. MAC labels are also handled outside of the
UMA zone for now. Label-only policy modules don't have to be
recompiled, but if a module is recompiled, its pipe entry points
will need to be updated. If a module actually reached into the
pipe structures (unlikely), that would also need to be modified.
These changes substantially simplify failure handling in the pipe
code as there are many fewer possible failure modes.
On half-close, pipes no longer free the 'struct pipe' for the closed
half until a full-close takes place. However, VM mapped buffers
are still released on half-close.
Some code refactoring is now possible to clean up some of the back
references, etc; this patch attempts not to change the structure
of most of the pipe implementation, only allocation/free code
paths, so as to avoid introducing bugs (hopefully).
This cuts about 8%-9% off the cost of sequential pipe allocation
and free in system call tests on UP and SMP in my micro-benchmarks.
May or may not make a difference in macro-benchmarks, but doing
less work is good.

track the load for the sched_load() function. In the SMP case this member
is not defined because it would be redundant with the ksg_load member
which already tracks the non ithd load.

For benchmarking purposes SO_BINTIME is preferable to SO_TIMEVAL

use of the two options is possible and they will return consistent
timestamps.
This introduces an extra test and a function call for SO_TIMEVAL, but I have
not been able to measure that.

command completion routine with a taskqueue_fast. This also corrects the
locking in the command thread and removes the need for operation flags.
Simple load tests show that this is now considerably faster than FreeBSD 4.x

"scheduler" here has very little to do with scheduling. It is actually
the swapper, and it really must be the last SYSINIT'ed item like its
comment says, since proc0 metamorphoses into swapper by calling
scheduler() last in mi_start(), and scheduler() never returns.. Rev.1.29
of subr_4bsd.c broke this by adding another SI_ORDER_FIRST item
(kproc_start() for schedcpu_thread() onto the SI_SUB_RUN_SCHEDULER_LIST.
The sorting of SYSINITs with identical orders (at all levels) is
apparently nondeterministic, so this resulted in schedule() sometimes
being called second last and schedcpu_thread() not being called at all.
This quick fix just changes the code to almost match the comment
(SI_ORDER_FIRST -> SI_ORDER_ANY). "LAST" is misspelled "ANY", and
there is no way to ensure that there is only 1 very lst SYSINIT.
A more complete fix would remove the SYSINIT obfuscation.
