Squashed commit of the following:
fs/cromfs: Now depends on EXPERIMENTAL because it is not yet verified.
fs/cromfs: This commit brings the CROMFS file system to code complete. Still completely untested. Next steps: Need a tool to generate CROMFS file system images and a test case under apps/
fs/cromfs: Add logic to traverse the in-memory file system nodes.
fs/cromfs: Add initial support for an in-memory, compressed, read-only file system.
fs/userfs: This completes coding of the UserFS client and of the UserFS feature in general. This feature is being merged to main now because I believe it is innocuous. It is, however, untesed. The next step will be to develop a test case to verify the feature.
fs/userfs: Completes the request logic for the UserFS client. Still need the logic that receives the responses.
fs/userfs: Completes coding for most of the server side of the user filesystem logic.
fs/userfs: Big design changes, simplications. Use Unix domain local sockets instead of message queues. Easier to transfer big data in local sockets than message queues. Remove character drvier 'factory' it is not necessary.
fs/userfs: Minor reparitioning; volume private info does not need to be held on the OS client side.
libc/userfs: Add some of the server side logic.
fs/userfs: Add some UserFS initialization logic.
fs/userfs: Add frame work for the UserFS proxy. Remove all references to a block driver. There is no block dricer... what was I thinking?
fs/userfs: Add some initialization of the character driver, 'factory' device.
fs/userfs: Rename from fusefs to userfs to that we don't stomp on someone else's cool name.
Add a header file describing the fusefs interface.
