A general comment on the code block below, there is a number of conditions at
play here. In reviewing I had to go pen to paper to keep track of the cases and
see what would be the outcome in each case.
It might be worth outlining these cases in a comment first before the block
i.e. what happens when v is larger/smaller than mbuf->data len. What happens
when mbuf->next is already null. The relationship between mbuf->buf_len and
mbuf->data_len would be useful also to give context when assigning more mbufs.

Can you clarify the comment above? On first reading I though it meant the
data_off cannot be changed in the first mbuf but we change it below then. I
think it means it can't be changed beyond the first mbuf?
