These are internal to netfs not API functions, so they shouldn't appear in the API docs. That's why the declaration is in internal.h, not netfs.h.
That said, I could describe them better.

The ranges aren't contiguous. They bracket the folios spliced from the mapping. That being said, I seem to have lost a bit of maths somewhere.
Further, I'm not now using netfs_add_folios_to_buffer(), so I'll remove it.
