Luigi Rizzo 6dba29a285 Two performance-related fixes:
1. as reported by Alexander Fiveg, the allocator was reporting
   half of the allocated memory. Fix this by exiting from the
   loop earlier (not too critical because this code is going
   away soon).

2. following a discussion on freebsd-current
    http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2012-January/031144.html
   turns out that (re)loading the dmamap was expensive and not optimized.
   This operation is in the critical path when doing zero-copy forwarding
   between interfaces.
   At least on netmap and i386/amd64, the bus_dmamap_load can be
   completely bypassed if the map is NULL, so we do it.

The latter change gives an almost 3x improvement in forwarding
performance, from the previous 9.5Mpps at 2.9GHz to the current
line rate (14.2Mpps) at 1.733GHz. (this is for 64+4 byte packets,
in other configurations the PCIe bus is a bottleneck).

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
