the directory cache as translation table. See nfs_subs.c for comments.
Makes the code a bit more complex to look at than I would have liked,
but doesn't affect the speed of the default behavior.
* Optimize caching behavior a bit when buffers are invalidated.
* Save some RPCs in readdir operations by not bothering if there is
a small amount left to do to fill the buffer. It'll be done in the
next RPC with a larger chunk anyway. Wastes a bit of buffer space
but is faster.
* Make n_vattr an allocated vattr struct. This avoids nfsnode bloat,
and is friendlier to the malloc routines.
directory cookie that may be thrown back at us from userspace, up
to a size limit. Fixes double entry problem.
* Split flags for internal and external use in the NFS mount structure.
* Fix some buffer structure fields that weren're being used correctly.
* Fix missing directory cache inval call in nfs_open.
* Limit on NFS_DIRBLKSIZ no longer needed, bumped to the more reasonable
value of 8k.
* Various other things that I forget, all related to the dir caching
somehow, though.
