                       void *vq,
                       uint16_t didx,
                       struct vio_iov *iov)

Arguments:

vdp
A pointer to a vdev's state structure.
vq

A pointer to the extended structure.

Returns:

If successful, the length of the new descriptor; otherwise, a negative errno value.
