    kernel - Improve physio performance (2)
    
    * Increase the cap on pbuf_mem buffers from 256 to 512.  256
      wasn't enough to max-out three NVMe devices.
    
    * Add 25% hysteresis to the pbuf_{mem,kva,raw}_count counters
      to reduce unnecessary tsleep()s and wakeup()s (and thus
      unnecessary IPIs) when the pbuf pool is exhausted.
    
      Add a tiny bit of hysteresis for the localized *pfreecnt
      as subsystems tend to use smaller values (e.g. pageout
      code).
    
    * In physio tests throughput with 3 x NVMe + 4 x SATA SSDs
      increases to 6.5 GBytes/sec and max IOPS @ 4K increases
      to 1.05M IOPS (yes, that's million).   (random read
      from urandom-filled partition using 32KB and 4KB blocks,
      with high user process concurrency).
