New Revision: 242401
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/242401

Log:
  Pad and align the callout_cpu mtx to its own cacheline to reduce false
  sharing especially on the default CPU 0 callout_cpu structure.
  
  This will be followed up by attilio@ with a conversion to the new struct
  mtx_padalign but doing this manual conversion first gives an easy MFC
  candidate since mtx_padalign is a more extensive system change.
