Staging: add cowloop driver
Cowloop is a "copy-on-write" pseudo block driver. It can be stacked on top of a "real" block driver, and catches all write operations on their way from the file systems layer above to the real driver below, effectively shielding the lower driver from those write accesses. The requests are then diverted to an ordinary file, located somewhere else (configurable). Later read requests are checked to see whether they can be serviced by the "real" block driver below, or must be pulled in from the diverted location. More information is on the project's website http://www.ATComputing.nl/cowloop/ From: "H.J. Thomassen" <hjt@ATComputing.nl> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
