New Revision: 237054
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/237054

Log:
  Merge 236560 and following 236563,236598 from head:
    Optimise kern_sendfile(): skip cycling through the entire mbuf chain in
    m_cat(), storing pointer to last mbuf in chain in local variable and
    attaching new mbuf to the end of chain.
  
    Submitter reports that CPU load dropped for > 10% on a web server
    serving large files with this optimisation.
