      omfs: add filesystem documentation · a14e4b57
      Bob Copeland authored
      
      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.
