  Log:
  Use the improved m_uiotombuf() function instead of home grown sosend_copyin()
  to do the userland to kernel copying in sosend_generic() and sosend_dgram().
  
  sosend_copyin() is retained for ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS which are not yet supported
  by m_uiotombuf().
  
  Benchmaring shows significant improvements (95% confidence):
   66% less cpu (or 2.9 times better) with new sosend vs. old sosend (non-TSO)
   65% less cpu (or 2.8 times better) with new sosend vs. old sosend (TSO)
