Interface drivers regularly need to keep track of where each part of a long
read buffer should be copied, once that data arrives. Both source and
destination are often at an arbitrary bit offset.
This queued bit-level copy can help with that, by allowing the driver to
perform postponed reads from the receive buffer already when building the
transmit buffer, and have those reads executed at a later time when data is
available.
For simplicity, it uses the linked list implementation list.h imported from
the Linux kernel.
