pa_write() knows two types of operation:
calling send() and calling write()

there is a flag (a pointer to an int) passed to pa_write()
which can remember which write type was successful

if the pointer is NULL or the int is 0, send() is tried first,
with a fallback to write() if send() resulted in ENOTSOCK

pa_fdsem_post() calls pa_write() with a NULL pointer;
unfortunately (at least with HAVE_SYS_EVENTFD_H #define'd) send()
always fails here and write() is called -- causing an extra syscall
quite frequently

strace:
send(17, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = -1 ENOTSOCK (Socket operation 
on non-socket)
write(17, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8

the patch adds a write_type field to pa_fdsem to the successful
pa_write() type can be remembered and unnecessary send() calls are
avoided

The type should be initialized to 0. This doesn't happen in the functions that allocate pa_fdsem objects.

Best regards.
