Simplified sendfile(SF_NODISKIO) usage. Starting with FreeBSD 11, there is no need to use AIO operations to preload data into cache for sendfile(SF_NODISKIO) to work. Instead, sendfile() handles non-blocking loading data from disk by itself. It still can, however, return EBUSY if a page is already being loaded (for example, by a different process). If this happens, we now post an event for the next event loop iteration, so sendfile() is retried "after a short period", as manpage recommends. The limit of the number of EBUSY tolerated without any progress is preserved, but now it does not result in an alert, since on an idle system event loop iteration might be very short and EBUSY can happen many times in a row. Instead, SF_NODISKIO is simply disabled for one call once the limit is reached. With this change, sendfile(SF_NODISKIO) is now used automatically as long as sendfile() is enabled, and no longer requires "aio on;".

/*
 * Although FreeBSD sendfile() allows to pass a header and a trailer,
 * it cannot send a header with a part of the file in one packet until
 * FreeBSD 5.3.  Besides, over the fast ethernet connection sendfile()
 * may send the partially filled packets, i.e. the 8 file pages may be sent
 * as the 11 full 1460-bytes packets, then one incomplete 324-bytes packet,
 * and then again the 11 full 1460-bytes packets.
 *
 * Therefore we use the TCP_NOPUSH option (similar to Linux's TCP_CORK)
 * to postpone the sending - it not only sends a header and the first part of
 * the file in one packet, but also sends the file pages in the full packets.
 *
 * But until FreeBSD 4.5 turning TCP_NOPUSH off does not flush a pending
 * data that less than MSS, so that data may be sent with 5 second delay.
 * So we do not use TCP_NOPUSH on FreeBSD prior to 4.5, although it can be used
 * for non-keepalive HTTP connections.
