[PATCH V4 3/8] Cleancache: core ops functions and configuration

Cleancache core ops functions and configuration

Credits: Cleancache_ops design derived from Jeremy Fitzhardinge
design for tmem; sysfs code modelled after mm/ksm.c

Note that CONFIG_CLEANCACHE defaults to on; all hooks devolve
to a compare-function-pointer-to-NULL so performance impact should
be negligible, but can be reduced to zero impact if config'ed off.

+ 	  Cleancache can be thought of as a page-granularity victim cache
+	  for clean pages that the kernel's pageframe replacement algorithm
+	  (PFRA) would like to keep around, but can't since there isn't enough
+	  memory.  So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to put
+	  it into a synchronous concurrency-safe page-oriented pseudo-RAM
+	  device (such as Xen's Transcendent Memory, aka "tmem") which is not
+	  directly accessible or addressable by the kernel and is of unknown
+	  (and possibly time-varying) size.  And when a cleancache-enabled
+	  filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
+	  checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
+ 	  the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.
+	  When a pseudo-RAM device is available, a significant I/O reduction
+	  may be achieved.  When none is available, all cleancache calls
+	  are reduced to a single pointer-compare-against-NULL resulting
+	  in a negligible performance hit.
