Ingo Weinhold ec598fe493 * Added FS interface hooks io() and cancel_io(). The former is supposed
to provide asynchrounous (or only synchronous, if asynchronous is not
  supported) I/O request support. It will eventually replace
  {read,write}_pages(). None of the FS implementations implement them
  yet.
* Implemented some support functions for request-based I/O. File system
  implementations can use do_fd_io() which passes an I/O request to the
  layer responsible for a given FD, and do_iterative_fd_io(), which
  translates a request for a file to subrequests for the underlying
  device and passes them on. Both fall back to synchrounous processing
  when the io() hook is not supported.
  Furthermore added vfs_synchronous_io() which should be handy for the
  devfs to perform io_requests synchronously for devices that don't
  support the io() hook.
