3d8993c197 Modify the boot loader to recognize the -C flag and pass the RB_CDROM 
flag to the kernel to mount a CDROM as the root filesystem.  Alternatively,
the boot_cdrom env var can be set.

As Mike Smith noted, "-C is the "wrong" way to do this", but this is
an acceptable stopgap in lieu of a better way.

Move the relocated boot1 and arg transfer space from 0x600/0x800 to
0x700/0x900.  In theory this should make no difference, apart from the fact
that Buslogic controllers happen to use a few bytes at 0x600 for some sort
of scratch space for it's int 0x13 hook (!!!), causing the machine to crash
badly when the boot2 code makes it's callbacks into boot1 for disk IO.

af1f6e0673 Implement a simple LRU block cache. By default this is initialised to 16k, 
and will bypass transfers for more than 8k.  Blocks are invalidated after
2 seconds, so removable media should not confuse the cache.

The 8k threshold is a compromise; all UFS transfers performed by
libstand are 8k or less, so large file reads thrash the cache.
However many filesystem metadata operations are also performed using
8k blocks, so using a lower threshold gives poor performance.

Those of you with an eye for cache algorithms are welcome to tell me
how badly this one sucks; you can start with the 'bcachestats' command
which will print the contents of the cache and access statistics.

Cosmetic change to the init-time character eater (like, make it increment
the index counter - if there's a problem, it would sit there in an infinite

Make sure comc_init() is only run once.

7deb2dabef Attempt to at least align MODINFO_* blocks. IMHO, decoding this stuff

Use a larger read buffer when copying large objects in; this

we might choose to implement.
