bd3cde4571 Move primary cache code to libminixfs.
Add primary cache management feature to libminixfs as mfs and ext2
currently do separately, remove cache code from mfs and ext2, and make
them use the libminixfs interface. This makes all fields of the buf
struct private to libminixfs and FS clients aren't supposed to access
them at all. Only the opaque 'void *data' field (the FS block contents,
used to be called bp) is to be accessed by the FS client.

The main purpose is to implement the interface to the 2ndary vm cache
just once, get rid of some code duplication, and add a little
abstraction to reduce the code inertia of the whole caching business.

Some minor sanity checking and prohibition done by mfs in this code
as removed from the generic primary cache code as a result:
        - checking all inodes are not in use when allocating/resizing
          the cache
        - checking readonly filesystems aren't written to
        - checking the superblock isn't written to on mounted filesystems

The minixfslib code relies on fs_blockstats() in the client filesystem to
return some FS usage information.

9b7d357ca1 mfs: use macros to mark blocks and inodes dirty
. No functional change
	. Only serves to get hooks to do checks in
	. e.g. should things be marked dirty when we are
	  mounted readonly

f984dbba70 increase system-wide filename limit to 255
. move mfs-specific struct, constants to mfs/, so
	  mfs-specific, on-disk format structs and consts are
	  fully isolated from generic structs and functions
	. removes de and readfs utils

6bbcab3ec4 Clean up MFS a bit:
- Remove unused includes.
 - Add include guards to headers.
 - Use unsigned variables in case they're never going to hold a negative
   value. This causes GCC's complaints to disappear and should make flexelint
   a lot happier, too.
 - Make functions private when they're used only within a module.
 - Remove unused variables.
 - Add casts where appropriate.

f78d8e74fd secondary cache feature in vm.
A new call to vm lets processes yield a part of their memory to vm,
together with an id, getting newly allocated memory in return. vm is
allowed to forget about it if it runs out of memory. processes can ask
for it back using the same id. (These two operations are normally
combined in a single call.)

It can be used as a as-big-as-memory-will-allow block cache for
filesystems, which is how mfs now uses it.

Not complete, probably not fully debugged or optimized.
