    sys/i386/i386        busdma_machdep.c 
  Log:
  The run_filter() procedure is a means of working around DMA engine bugs in
  old/broken hardware.  Unfortunately, it adds cache pressure and possible
  mispredicted branches to the fast path of the bus_dmamap_load collection of
  functions.  Since it's meant for slow path exception processing, de-inline
  it and allow its conditions to be pre-computed at tag_create time and thus
  short-circuited at runtime.
  
  While here, cut down on the size of _bus_dmamap_load_buffer() by pushing the
  bounce page logic into a non-inlined function.  Again, this helps with
  cache pressure and mispredicted branches.
  
  According to the TSC, this shaves off a few cycles on average.  Unfortunately,
  the data varies quite a bit due to interrupts and preemption, so it's hard to
  get a good measurement.  Real world measurements of network PPS are welcomed.
  A merge to amd64 and other arches is pending more testing.
