Staging: pohmelfs: distributed locking and cache coherency protocol.
POHMELFS utilizes writeback cache, which is built on top of MO(E)SI-like
coherency protocol. This patch includes its implementation and cache
object processing helpers (like allocation and completion callbacks).
POHMELFS uses scalable cached read/write locking. No additional requests
are performed if lock is granted to the filesystem. The same protocol
is used by the server to on-demand flushing of the client's cache (for
example when server wants to update local data).
