Document some more socket features
Add some mention of the functions used by protocol implementations, upcalls, and other general routines. Not all functionality is documented; in particular: o the *at() variants, which are useful only for implementing the corresponding syscalls. o soconnect2(), also only used to implement a syscall (socketpair()). o sockargs(), which is essentually unused and only tangentially socket-related. o selsocket(), which is commented as being present solely for use by netncp and netsmb. o getsockaddr(), which is just a convenience shortcut for copyin().

+In order for the owner of a socket to be notified when the socket
+is ready to send or receive data, an upcall may be registered on

+The upcall is a function that will be called by the socket framework
+when a socket buffer associated with the given socket is ready for

+.Fn soupcall_set
+is used to register a socket upcall.

+.Fn soreceive_generic

+Protocol implementations can use

+The functions
+.Fn sosend_dgram
+and

+are supplied to assist in protocol implementations of
+.Fn sosend .
+.Pp
+When a protocol creates a new socket structure, it is necessary to
+reserve socket buffer space for that socket, by calling
+.Fn soreserve .
+The rough inverse of this reservation is performed by
+.Fn sorflush ,
+which is called automatically by the socket framework.
+.Pp
+When a protocol needs to wake up threads waiting for the socket to
+become ready to read or write, variants of
+.Fn sowakeup
+are used.
+The
+.Fn sowakeup
+function should not be called directly by protocol code, instead use the
+wrappers
+.Fn sorwakeup ,
+.Fn sorwakeup_locked ,
+.Fn sowwakeup ,
+and
+.Fn sowwakeup_locked
+for readers and writers, with the corresponding socket buffer lock
+not already locked, or already held, respectively.
