David van Moolenbroek 6c46a77d95 libminixfs: better support for read errors and EOF
- The lmfs_get_block*(3) API calls may now return an error.  The idea
  is to encourage a next generation of file system services to do a
  better job at dealing with block read errors than the MFS-derived
  implementations do.  These existing file systems have been changed
  to panic immediately upon getting a block read error, in order to
  let unchecked errors cause corruption.  Note that libbdev already
  retries failing I/O operations a few times first.

- The libminixfs block device I/O module (bio.c) now deals properly
  with end-of-file conditions on block devices.  Since a device or
  partition size may not be a multiple of the root file system's block
  size, support for partial block retrival has been added, with a new
  internal lmfs_get_partial_block(3) call.  A new test program,
  test85, tests the new handling of EOF conditions when reading,
  writing, and memory-mapping a block device.
