After doing battle on this front for the past week, I just caught
this commit. Could someone comment on the effect (or hopefully lack
thereof) on driver code compiled using the old (revision 1.9)
code? I'm specifically concerned about the ET drivers since
Dennis does not support -stable.
BTW - It seems that dennis uncovered something in his driver since
his latest test version has solved my MBUF growth problem.

Log:
Our new-old mbugf allocator. This is actually something of a blast from
the past, since it returns to the old system of allocating mbufs out of
a private area rather than using the kernel malloc(). While this may seem
like a backwards step to some, the new allocator is some 20% faster than
the old one and has much better caching properties.
