This adds support for partial file caching in Coda. Every read, write and mmap informs the userspace cache manager about what part of a file is about to be accessed so that the cache manager can ensure the relevant parts are available before the operation is allowed to proceed. When a read or write operation completes, this is also reported to allow the cache manager to track when partially cached content can be released. If the cache manager does not support partial file caching, or when the entire file has been fetched into the local cache, the cache manager may return an EOPNOTSUPP error to indicate that intent upcalls are no longer necessary until the file is closed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
