[PATCH] fuse: more flexible caching

Make data caching behavior selectable on a per-open basis instead of
per-mount.  Compatibility for the old mount options 'kernel_cache' and
'direct_io' is retained in the userspace library (version 2.4.0-pre1 or
later).

allowed to root, but this restriction can be removed with a
(userspace) configuration option.
'kernel_cache'
This option disables flushing the cache of the file contents on
every open(). This should only be enabled on filesystems, where the
file data is never changed externally (not through the mounted FUSE
filesystem). Thus it is not suitable for network filesystems and
other "intermediate" filesystems.
NOTE: if this option is not specified (and neither 'direct_io') data
is still cached after the open(), so a read() system call will not
always initiate a read operation.
'direct_io'
This option disables the use of page cache (file content cache) in
the kernel for this filesystem. This has several affects:
- Each read() or write() system call will initiate one or more
read or write operations, data will not be cached in the
kernel.
- The return value of the read() and write() system calls will
correspond to the return values of the read and write
operations. This is useful for example if the file size is not
known in advance (before reading it).
'max_read=N'
With this option the maximum size of read operations can be set.
