status of autotuning freebsd for 9.2

[Alfred Perlstein]

Andre, we have a number of people running this patch in the following 
configurations:

6-8GB ram + 10gigE ethernet using iozone over NFS.

We're rolling it into the PCBSD rolling update as well.  I'm thinking it 
makes sense to roll this into the 9.2 release to give us more scalability.
