Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
This function permits a range of one scatter/gather list to be appended to
another sglist. This can be used to construct a scatter/gather list that
reorders or duplicates ranges from one or more existing scatter/gather
lists.

sglist_count_vmpages() determines the number of segments required for
a buffer described by an array of VM pages. sglist_append_vmpages()
adds the segments described by such a buffer to an sglist. The latter
function is largely pulled from sglist_append_bio(), and
sglist_append_bio() now uses sglist_append_vmpages().

better semantics if a request to append an address range to an existing list
fails.
- When cloning an sglist, properly set the length in the new sglist instead of
leaving the new list empty.
- Properly compute the amount of data added to an sglist via
_sglist_append_buf(). This allows sglist_consume_uio() to properly update
uio_resid.
- When a request to append an address range to a scatter/gather list fails,
restore the sglist to the state it had at the start of the function call
instead of resetting it to an empty list.

Each list describes a logical memory object that is backed by one or more
physical address ranges. To minimize locking, the sglist objects
themselves are immutable once they are shared.
These objects may be used in the future to facilitate I/O requests using
physically-addressed buffers. For the immediate future I plan to use them
to implement a new type of VM object and pager.
