dm: add bufio
The dm-bufio interface allows you to do cached I/O on devices, holding recently-read blocks in memory and performing delayed writes. We don't use buffer cache or page cache already present in the kernel, because: * we need to handle block sizes larger than a page * we can't allocate memory to perform reads or we'd have deadlocks Currently, when a cache is required, we limit its size to a fraction of available memory. Usage can be viewed and changed in /sys/module/dm_bufio/parameters/ . The first user is thin provisioning, but more dm users are planned.
