 * This file defines the operations on a directory open by an user process
 *
 * - An user process open a directory by calling the "opendir()" syscall.
 *   The user_dir_create() function allocates physical memory to create in the cluster
 *   containing the target inode one or several physical pages to implement an array 
 *   of "dirent", mapped in the user process space as an ANON vseg. It allocates also
 *   an "user_dir_t" descriptor structure defined below, registered in the xlist rooted 
 *   in the reference user process descriptor. 
 * - This "user_dir_t" structure contains the total number of "entries", the "current" 
 *   pointer used by the readdir() syscall, and an "ident" field, that is actually
 *   the DIR user pointer on the "dirent" array in user space.
 * - all these structures are destroyed by the closedir() syscall, that release to the
 *   kernel all allocated memory.
 *
 * WARNING: ALMOS-MKH makes explicitely the assumption that sizeof(dirent) == 64
