Patch against 7.2.1 sources. Uses Solaris Intimate Shared Memory

bmomjian · bmomjian · commit b73859db8c94 · 2002-04-13T19:52:51.000Z
for Solaris on SPARC.  Scott Brunza (sbrunza@sonalysts.com) gets
credit for identifying the issue, making the change, and doing
the regression tests.

Earlier testing on 7.2rc2 and 7.2 showed performance gains of
1% to 10% on pgbench, osdb-pg, and some locally developed apps.

Solaris Intimate Shared Memory is described in "SOLARIS INTERNALS
Core Kernel Components" by Jim Mauro and Richard McDougall,
