Add ICL_NOCOPY flag to icl_pdu_append_data(), specifying that the method
can just reference the data buffer instead of immediately copying it.
Extend the offload KPI with optional PDU queue method, allowing to specify
completion callback, called when all the data referenced by above has been
transferred and won't be accessed any more (the buffers can be freed).
Implement the above functionality in software iSCSI driver using mbufs
with external storage and reference counter. Note that some NICs (ixl(4))
may keep the mbuf in TX queue for a long time, so CTL has to be ready.
Add optional method to struct ctl_scsiio for buffer reference counting.
Implement it for CTL block backend, allowing to delay free of the struct
ctl_be_block_io and memory it references as needed. In first reincarnation
of the patch I tried to delay whole I/O as it is done for FibreChannel,
that was cleaner, but due to the above callback delays I had to rewrite
it this way to not leave LUN referenced potentially for hours or more.
All together on sequential read from ZFS ARC this saves about 30% of CPU
time and memory bandwidth by avoiding one of 3 memory copies (the other
two are from ZFS ARC to DMU cache and then from DMU cache to CTL buffers).
On tests with 2x Xeon Silver 4114 this allows to reach full line rate of
100GigE NIC. Tests with Gold CPUs and two 100GigE NICs are stil TBD,
but expectations to saturate them are pretty high. ;)

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
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.
Decouple the send and receive limits on the amount of data in a single
iSCSI PDU. MaxRecvDataSegmentLength is declarative, not negotiated, and
is direction-specific so there is no reason for both ends to limit
themselves to the same min(initiator, target) value in both directions.
Allow iSCSI drivers to report their send, receive, first burst, and max
burst limits explicitly instead of using hardcoded values or trying to
derive all of them from the receive limit (which was the only limit
reported by the drivers prior to this change).
Display the send and receive limits separately in the userspace iSCSI
utilities.

initiator iSCSI offload. Pass maximum data segment size supported by
chosen offload module to iscsid(8), and make iscsid(8) not try to negotiate
anything larger than that.

It allows to push out some final data from the send queue to the socket
before its close. In particular, it increases chances for logout response
to be delivered to the initiator.
This avoids extra locking in icl_pdu_queue(); the upper layer needs to call
it while holding its own lock anyway, to avoid sending PDUs out of order.
