/*******************************************************************************************
 * The mapper implements the kernel cache for a given file or directory.
 * There is one mapper per file/dir. It is implemented as a three levels radix tree,
 * entirely stored in the same cluster as the inode representing the file/dir.
 * - The fast retrieval key is the page index in the file.
 *   The ix1_width, ix2_width, ix3_width sub-indexes are configuration parameters.
 * - The leaves are pointers on physical page descriptors, dynamically allocated
 *   in the local cluster.
 * - In a given cluster, a mapper is a "private" structure: a thread accessing the mapper
 *   must be running in the cluster containing it (can be a local thread or a RPC thread).
 * - The mapper is protected by a blocking "rwlock", to support several simultaneous
 *   readers, and only one writer. This lock implement a busy waiting policy.
 * - The mapper_get_page() function that return a page descriptor pointer from a page
 *   index in file is in charge of handling the miss on the mapper cache.
 * - The vfs_mapper_move_page() function access the file system to handle a mapper miss,
 *   or update a dirty page on device.
 * - The vfs_mapper_load_all() functions is used to load all pages of a given file 
 *   or directory into the mapper.
 * - the mapper_move_user() function is used to move data to or from an user buffer.
 *   This user space buffer can be physically distributed in several clusters.
 * - In the present implementation the cache size for a given file increases on demand,
 *   and the  allocated memory is only released when the mapper/inode is destroyed.
