Module Name:    src
Committed By:   chs
Date:           Thu Nov 13 02:44:02 UTC 2003

Modified Files:
        src/sys/kern: subr_pool.c
        src/sys/sys: pool.h
        src/sys/uvm: uvm_map.c

Log Message:
two changes in improve scalability:

 (1) split the single list of pages allocated to a pool into three lists:
     completely full, partially full, and completely empty.
     there is no longer any need to traverse any list looking for a
     certain type of page.

 (2) replace the 8-element hash table for out-of-page page headers
     with a splay tree.

these two changes (together with the recent enhancements to the wait code)
give us linear scaling for a fork+exit microbenchmark.
