So, FWIW, I fixed this.  See M_READONLY() in sys/mbuf.h, and how it is
used by M_LEADINGSPACE() and M_TRAILINGSPACE().

Between this and another change (which I will commit shortly) to use
pool_cache_get() for mbuf/cluster allocation, I've gained another 2000KB/sec
on my Gig-E benchmarks with the Sundance TC9021 chip.

...time to do another kernel profile, I suppose :-)
