+/* 
+ * What is going on with linked lists? (!)
+ * First recall the link list declaration from pmap_prot.h:
+ *
+ * struct pmaplist {
+ *	struct pmap pml_map;
+ *	struct pmaplist *pml_map;
+ * };
+ *
+ * Compare that declaration with a corresponding xdr declaration that 
+ * is (a) pointer-less, and (b) recursive:
+ *
+ * typedef union switch (bool_t) {
+ * 
+ *	case TRUE: struct {
+ *		struct pmap;
+ * 		pmaplist_t foo;
+ *	};
+ *
+ *	case FALSE: struct {};
+ * } pmaplist_t;
+ *
+ * Notice that the xdr declaration has no nxt pointer while
+ * the C declaration has no bool_t variable.  The bool_t can be
+ * interpreted as ``more data follows me''; if FALSE then nothing
+ * follows this bool_t; if TRUE then the bool_t is followed by
+ * an actual struct pmap, and then (recursively) by the 
+ * xdr union, pamplist_t.  
+ *
+ * This could be implemented via the xdr_union primitive, though this
+ * would cause a one recursive call per element in the list.  Rather than do
+ * that we can ``unwind'' the recursion
+ * into a while loop and do the union arms in-place.
+ *
+ * The head of the list is what the C programmer wishes to past around
+ * the net, yet is the data that the pointer points to which is interesting;
+ * this sounds like a job for xdr_reference!
