2nd questions from PerlBal novice

[Brad Fitzpatrick]

So sendfile (as implemented in Sys::Syscall) doesn't work on FreeBSD,
which is why it doesn't work in Perlbal.

Really, Perlbal should be updated to not use Sys::Syscall's sendfile and
instead use the better (and portable) implementation in IO::AIO, and then
we remove the older Linux::AIO support.
