A KBuffer always contains a valid KBufferImpl. If you need a "null"
state buffer, use Optional<KBuffer>.
This makes KBuffer very easy to work with and pass around, just like
ByteBuffer before it.
There's no need for send_ipv4() to take a ByteBuffer&&, the data is
immediately cooked into a packet and transmitted. Instead, just pass
it the address+length of whatever buffer we've been using locally.
The more we can reduce the pressure on kmalloc the better. :^)
Replace the class-based snooze alarm mechanism with a per-thread callback.
This makes it easy to block the current thread on an arbitrary condition:
void SomeDevice::wait_for_irq() {
m_interrupted = false;
current->block_until([this] { return m_interrupted; });
}
void SomeDevice::handle_irq() {
m_interrupted = true;
}
Use this in the SB16 driver, and in NetworkTask :^)
