Add a block device cache to speed up repeated reads of block devices by
various filesystems.
This small amount of cache can dramatically speed up filesystem
operations by skipping repeated reads of common areas of a block
device (typically directory structures).
This has shown to have some benefit on FAT filesystem operations of
loading a kernel and RAM disk, but more dramatic benefits on ext4
filesystems when the kernel and/or RAM disk are spread across
multiple extent header structures as described in commit fc0fc50.
The cache is implemented through a minimal list (block_cache) maintained
in most-recently-used order and count of the current number of entries
(cache_count). It uses a maximum block count setting to prevent copies
of large block reads and an upper bound on the number of cached areas.
The maximum number of entries in the cache defaults to 32 and the maximum
number of blocks per cache entry has a default of 2, which has shown to
produce the best results on testing of ext4 and FAT filesystems.
The 'blkcache' command (enabled through CONFIG_CMD_BLOCK_CACHE) allows
changing these values and can be used to tune for a particular filesystem
layout.

We can use linker lists instead of explicitly declaring each function.
This makes the code shorter by avoiding switch() statements and lots of
header file declarations.
While this does clean up the code it introduces a few code issues with SPL.
SPL never needs to print partition information since this all happens from
commands. SPL mostly doesn't need to obtain information about a partition
either, except in a few cases. Add these cases so that the code will be
dropped from each partition driver when not needed. This avoids code bloat.
I think this is still a win, since it is not a bad thing to be explicit
about which features are used in SPL. But others may like to weigh in.

Commit 95fac6ab45 "sandbox: Use os functions to read host device tree"
removed the ability for get_device_and_partition() to handle the "host"
device type, and redirect accesses to it to the host filesystem. This
broke some unit tests that use this feature. So, revert that change. The
code added back by this patch is slightly different to pacify checkpatch.
However, we're then left with "host" being both:
- A pseudo device that accesses the hosts real filesystem.
- An emulated block device, which accesses "sectors" inside a file stored
on the host.
In order to resolve this discrepancy, rename the pseudo device from host
to hostfs, and adjust the unit-tests for this change.
The "help sb" output is modified to reflect this rename, and state where
the host and hostfs devices should be used.

Currently, get_device()/get_dev_hwpart() for MMC devices does not select
an explicit HW partition unless the user explicitly requests one, i.e. by
requesting device "mmc 0.0" rather than just "mmc 0". I think it makes
more sense if the default is to select HW partition 0 (main data area)
if the user didn't request a specific partition. Otherwise, the following
happens, which feels wrong:
Select HW partition 1 (boot0):
mmc dev 0 1
Attempts to access SW partition 1 on HW partition 1 (boot0), rather than
SW partition 1 on HW partition 0 (main data area):
ls mmc 0:1 /
With this patch, the second command above re-selects the main data area.
Many device types don't support HW partitions at all, so if HW partition
0 is selected (either explicitly or as the default) and there's no
select_hwpart function, we simply skip attempting to select a HW
partition.
Some MMC devices (i.e. SD cards) don't support HW partitions. However,
this patch still works, since mmc_start_init() sets the current
partition number to 0, and mmc_select_hwpart() succeeds if the requested
partition is already selected.

Some device types (e.g. eMMC) have hardware-level partitions (for eMMC,
separate boot and user data partitions). This change allows the user to
specify the HW partition they wish to access when passing a device ID to
U-Boot Commands such as part, ls, load, ums, etc.
The syntax allows an optional ".$hwpartid" to be appended to the device
name string for those commands.
Existing syntax, for MMC device 0, default HW partition ID, SW partition
ID 1:
ls mmc 0:1 /
New syntax, for MMC device 0, HW partition ID 1 (boot0), SW partition
ID 2:
ls mmc 0.1:2 /
For my purposes, this is most useful for the ums (USB mass storage
gadget) command, but there's no reason not to allow the new syntax
globally.
This patch adds the core support infra-structure. The next patch will
