	@header kpi_mbuf.h
	This header defines an API for interacting with mbufs. mbufs are the
	primary method of storing packets in the networking stack.
	
	mbufs are used to store various items in the networking stack. The
	most common usage of an mbuf is to store a packet or data on a
	socket waiting to be sent or received. The mbuf is a contiguous
	structure with some header followed by some data. To store more data
	than would fit in an mbuf, external data is used. Most mbufs with
	external data use clusters to store the external data.
	
	mbufs can be chained, contiguous data in a packet can be found by
	following the m_next chain. Packets may be bundled together using
	m_nextpacket. Many parts of the stack do not properly handle chains
	of packets. When in doubt, don't chain packets.
