I tried to make a GENERIC3X kernel on both kernels which use
malloc/free and pool_get/pool_put:

malloc: 22796.7u 1418.7s 6:59:10.62 96.2% 0.0k 47761+18193io 553pf+0w
pool:   22795.9u 1414.8s 6:59:03.73 96.2% 0.0k 47603+18189io 610pf+0w

The difference is not so significant (sun3 is too slow to see it? :-),
but I will commit this change anyway.

I'll also try on CATS, macppc and newsmips.
