    These patches add the Optimized MPEG Filesystem, a proprietary filesystem used
    by the embedded devices Rio Karma and ReplayTV, which are no longer
    manufactured.  This filesystem module enables people to access files on these
    devices.
    
    This patch:
    
    OMFS is a proprietary filesystem created for the ReplayTV and also used by the
    Rio Karma.  It uses hash tables with unordered, unbounded lists in each bucket
    for directories, extents for data blocks, 64-bit addressing for blocks, with
    up to 8K blocks (only 2K of a given block is ever used for metadata, so the FS
    still works with 4K pages).
    
    Document the filesystem usage and structures.
