Re: ~5 percent kernel performance loss in the last 3 weeks

After updating my -current kernel from 6.99.24 to 6.99.27 so I could
commit my ubsec(4) changes I noticed that under 6.99.27 I get between
3 and 8 percent less throughput on accelerated crypto ops.

Note that I am using the exact same ubsec(4) code[1] with both kernels, so
I think it is unlikely a problem with ubsec(4).
I did not change userland.

The old kernel is 6.99.24 from Oct, 27th and the 6.99.27 is from Nov, 17th.
The machine is an ML110 G6 w/32G RAM and Intel Xeon X3430 4 core @2.4 GHz
running amd64.

There's nothing obvious to me in the dmesg diff that would give me a clue:

 It's strange.

Could you revert the following change and test again?

and, show me the output of "cpuctl identify 0"

Log Message:
 Modify some macros and add some new macros for CPU family and model
to reduce code duplication and to avoid bug.

[1] the code has yet uncommitted changes to avoid calling
bus_dmamap_destroy() from interrupt context that I'm waiting to get
reviewed before committing.
