Under certain circumtances, if TSO is active, Yukon II generates
corrupted IP packets. All corrupted IP packets I noticed were the the
last segmented packet in a TSO request. The corrupted packet resulted
in retransmission of the damaged packet which in turn decreased network
performance dramatically.
Unfortunately it seems that there is no way to workaround this bug
as TSO is completely handled in hardware. Disable TSO until we find a
working workaround or a new silicon revision that doesn't have this
hardware bug.
fault. The previous method zero'd out the page tables, invalidated the
TLB, and then entered a spin loop. The idea was that the instruction after
the TLB invalidate would result in a page fault and the page fault and
subsequent double fault wouldn't be able to determine the physical page
for their fault handlers' first instruction. This stopped working when
PGE (PG_G PTE/PDE bit) support was added as a TLB invalidate via %cr3
reload doesn't clear TLB entries with PG_G set. Thus, the CPU was still
able to map the virtual address for the spin loop and happily performed
its infinite loop.
The triple fault now uses a much more deterministic sledge-hammer approach
to generate a triple fault. First, the IDT descriptor is set to point to
an empty IDT, so any interrupts (including a double fault) will instantly
fault. Second, we trigger a int 3 breakpoint to force an interrupt and
kick off a triple fault.

in all other file system on FreeBSD (instead from inactive() method).
A nice side-effect of this change, except that it speedups file system
when mmaped file are often open/closed, is that it makes FreeBSD's
namecache work:)
This fixes slow operations on mmaped files, because without this fix,
pages were written to disk multiple times.
If one is looking for even greater speed up for such operation, he should
disable ZIL (by setting vfs.zfs.zil_disable to 1 in /boot/loader.conf).
Disabling ZIL makes fsx run ~9 times faster.

The nuked code itself is quite problematic, as pointed out by sam@ ---
wk->wk_keyix should be replaced by the loop count.
