Eric Van Hensbergen e03abc0c96 9p: implement optional loose read cache
While cacheing is generally frowned upon in the 9p world, it has its
place -- particularly in situations where the remote file system is
exclusive and/or read-only.  The vacfs views of venti content addressable
store are a real-world instance of such a situation.  To facilitate higher
performance for these workloads (and eventually use the fscache patches),
we have enabled a "loose" cache mode which does not attempt to maintain
any form of consistency on the page-cache or dcache.  This results in over
two orders of magnitude performance improvement for cacheable block reads
in the Bonnie benchmark.  The more aggressive use of the dcache also seems
to improve metadata operational performance.

Eric Van Hensbergen 147b31cf09 [PATCH] v9fs: add readpage support
v9fs mmap support was originally removed from v9fs at Al Viro's request,
but recently there have been requests from folks who want readpage
functionality (primarily to enable execution of files mounted via 9P).
This patch adds readpage support (but not writepage which contained most of
the objectionable code).  It passes fsx-linux (and other regressions) so it
should be relatively safe.
