When performing a ZC receive, instead of returning data directly
to the user, an iov[] structure is returned referencing the data
in user space.

The application locates the base address of the data by performing
address computations on bgid:bid.  The off/len applies to the base
address, resulting in the data segment.

The bgid:bid identifying the buffer should later be placed in the
ifq's fill ring, which returns the buffer back to the kernel.
