This replaces the current block-level cache with the already existing Inode cache.

Inodes that extend the CachedFilesystemInode class will use their shared Inode mapping object as cache, so regular file reads and writes will be routed through the shared
mapping as well.

Currently, a few things still need to be fixed:

  • kcache has been removed from /proc/meminfo and libsys will just report it as zero for now
  • I have observed occasional triple faults - this still needs to be debugged
  • Behavior after file truncation needs to be ironed out
