These patches add local caching for network filesystems such as NFS and AFS.
This is a preview, so expect bugs.

FS-Cache now runs fully asynchronously as required by Trond Myklebust for NFS.

A tarball of the patches is available at:

To use this version of CacheFiles, the cachefilesd-0.8 is also required.  It
is available as an SRPM:

	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd-0....

Or as individual bits:

	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd-0....
	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd.fc
	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd.if
	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd.te
	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd.spec

The .fc, .if and .te files are for manipulating SELinux.
