    x86, UV: Disable BAU on network congestion · 50fb55ac

    The numalink network can become so congested that TLB shootdown
    using the Broadcast Assist Unit becomes slower than using IPI's.
    
    In that case, disable the use of the BAU for a period of time.
    The period is tunable.  When the period expires the use of the
    BAU is re-enabled. A count of these actions is added to the
    statistics file.
