Subject: [PATCH] buffer: remove MAX_SAFE_INTEGER check on length
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

MAX_SAFE_INTEGER is millions of times larger than the largest buffer
allowed in Node.js. There is no need to squash the length down to
MAX_SAFE_INTEGER. Removing that check results in a small but
statistically significant increase for Buffer.from() operating on
ArrayBuffers in some situations.
