Mike Silbersack b49d824e8b Add the SF_NODISKIO flag to sendfile. This flag causes sendfile to be
mindful of blocking on disk I/O and instead return EBUSY when such
blocking would occur.

Results from the DeBox project indicate that blocking on disk I/O
can slow the performance of a kqueue/poll based webserver.  Using
a flag such as SF_NODISKIO and throwing connections that would block
to helper processes/threads helped increase performance.

Currently, only the Flash webserver uses this flag, although it could
probably be applied to thttpd with relative ease.
