the descriptors set.
- In em_process_receive_interrupts(), call bus_dmamap_sync() for the
descriptors set each time we modify one descriptor, instead of doing it only
at the function exit, to make sure the adapters know he can re-use the
descriptor.
This helps on arm with write-back data cache (and possibly on other arches
with bounce pages, I don't know) under heavy network load. Without this,
if we attempt to process more than num_rx_desc descriptors, the adapter
would just stop processing rx interrupts.
While here, support up to four sections because it was trivial to do
and cheap. (One pointer per section).
For amd64 with "-fpic -shared" format .ko files, using a single PT_LOAD
section is important to avoid wasting about 1MB of KVM and physical ram
for the 'gap' between the two PT_LOAD sections. amd64 normally uses
.o format kld files and isn't affected normally. But -fpic -shared modules
are actually possible to produce and load... (And with a bugfix to
binutils, we can build and use plain -shared .ko files without -fpic)
i386 only wastes 4K per .ko file, so that isn't such a big deal there.
and fs.base. We always update pcb.pcb_gsbase and pcb.pcb_fsbase
when user wants to set them, in context switch routine, we only need to
write them into registers, we never have to read them out from registers
when thread is switched away. Since rdmsr is a serialization instruction,
micro benchmark shows it is worthy to do.

I benchmarked this by simultaneously extracting 4 large tarballs (basically
world images) on a 4-processor AMD64 system, in a malloc-backed md.
With this patch, system time was reduced by 43%, and wall clock time by 33%.
