Just curious, is TSX supported in illumos? "*Transactional Synchronization Extensions* (*TSX*) is an extension to the x86 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86> instruction set architecture <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_set_architecture> (ISA) that adds hardware transactional memory <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transactional_memory> support, speeding up execution of multi-threaded software through lock elision. According to different benchmarks, TSX can provide around 40% faster applications execution in specific workloads, and 4–5 times more database transactions per second <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transactions_per_second> (TPS)."
