20fee1093e Add sglist functions for working with arrays of VM pages.
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().

4f621933a5 Fix a couple of panics when detaching from a cxgbe/cxl interface that was
never brought up:
- Allow NULL to be passed to sglist_free().
- Don't try to stop an interface that was never fully initialized.

eb5a1e8f38 This patch fixes two bugs in sglist(9) and improves robustness of the API via
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.

0cef25aeb2 Change the 'resid' parameter to sglist_consume_uio() from an int to a
size_t to match the recent type change of the uio_resid member of struct
uio.

b36cfff75d Add a simple API to manage scatter/gather lists of phyiscal addresses.
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.
