This fires off a kqueue note (of type sendfile) to the configured kqfd
when the sendfile transaction has completed and the relevant memory
backing the transaction is no longer in use by this transaction.
This is analogous to SF_SYNC waiting for the mbufs to complete -
except now you don't have to wait.
Both SF_SYNC and SF_KQUEUE should work together, even if it
doesn't necessarily make any practical sense.
This is designed for use by applications which use backing cache/store
files (eg Varnish) or POSIX shared memory (not sure anything is using
it yet!) to know when a region of memory is free for re-use. Note
it doesn't mark the region as free overall - only free from this
transaction. The application developer still needs to track which
ranges are in the process of being recycled and wait until all
pending transactions are completed.
