59  * What is going on with linked lists? (!)
60  * First recall the link list declaration from pmap_prot.h:
61  *
62  * struct pmaplist {
63  *	struct pmap pml_map;
64  *	struct pmaplist *pml_map;
65  * };
66  *
67  * Compare that declaration with a corresponding xdr declaration that
68  * is (a) pointer-less, and (b) recursive:
69  *
70  * typedef union switch (bool_t) {
71  *
72  *	case TRUE: struct {
73  *		struct pmap;
74  * 		pmaplist_t foo;
75  *	};
76  *
77  *	case FALSE: struct {};
78  * } pmaplist_t;
79  *
80  * Notice that the xdr declaration has no nxt pointer while
81  * the C declaration has no bool_t variable.  The bool_t can be
82  * interpreted as ``more data follows me''; if FALSE then nothing
83  * follows this bool_t; if TRUE then the bool_t is followed by
84  * an actual struct pmap, and then (recursively) by the
85  * xdr union, pamplist_t.
86  *
87  * This could be implemented via the xdr_union primitive, though this
88  * would cause a one recursive call per element in the list.  Rather than do
89  * that we can ``unwind'' the recursion
90  * into a while loop and do the union arms in-place.
91  *
92  * The head of the list is what the C programmer wishes to past around
93  * the net, yet is the data that the pointer points to which is interesting;
94  * this sounds like a job for xdr_reference!
