using the sendfile system call on Darwin

[Michael Allman]

Hello All,

Can someone please run the jtreg test target below ("make jdk_nio2" in 
jdk/test) on a recent build of OpenJDK 7 and let me know if you get the 
errors I'm getting?  I'd like to know before I start digging, and this is 
a blocker for my sendfile patch.

I will gladly field any questions on running the tests.

Thanks.

Michael
