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.
