SUNRPC: switchable buffer allocation



 Add RPC client transport switch support for replacing buffer management
 on a per-transport basis.

 In the current IPv4 socket transport implementation, RPC buffers are
 allocated as needed for each RPC message that is sent.  Some transport
 implementations may choose to use pre-allocated buffers for encoding,
 sending, receiving, and unmarshalling RPC messages, however.  For
 transports capable of direct data placement, the buffers can be carved
 out of a pre-registered area of memory rather than from a slab cache.

 Test-plan:
 Millions of fsx operations.  Performance characterization with "sio" and
 "iozone".  Use oprofile and other tools to look for significant regression
 in CPU utilization.
