/* Buffer (block) cache.  To acquire a block, a routine calls get_block(),
 * telling which block it wants.  The block is then regarded as "in use"
 * and has its 'b_count' field incremented.  All the blocks that are not
 * in use are chained together in an LRU list, with 'front' pointing
 * to the least recently used block, and 'rear' to the most recently used
 * block.  A reverse chain, using the field b_prev is also maintained.
 * Usage for LRU is measured by the time the put_block() is done.  The second
 * parameter to put_block() can violate the LRU order and put a block on the
 * front of the list, if it will probably not be needed soon.  If a block
 * is modified, the modifying routine must set b_dirt to DIRTY, so the block
 * will eventually be rewritten to the disk.
