FS-Cache: Add the FS-Cache cache backend API and documentation
Add the API for a generic facility (FS-Cache) by which caches may declare them selves open for business, and may obtain work to be done from network filesystems. The header file is included by: #include <linux/fscache-cache.h> Documentation for the API is also added to: Documentation/filesystems/caching/backend-api.txt This API is not usable without the implementation of the utility functions which will be added in further patches. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Steve Dickson <steved@redhat.com> Acked-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Acked-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Tested-by: Daire Byrne <Daire.Byrne@framestore.com>
