Add pinned entry capability to cache.
Description:
For frequently accessed cache entries, the protect/unprotect overhead
is sometimes a bottleneck.
Solution:
Allow entries to be pinned in the cache. Pinned entries can't be
evicted, but can be flushed or modified.
Platforms tested:
h5committested -- minus one small typo in test/cache.c whose fix was
tested on copper and heping only.
Misc. update:
Add files that I forgot in my last checkin.
Description:
cache_api.c cache_common.c cache_common.h are new files that result
from breaking the old cache test into two tests.
Solution:
See above.
Platforms tested:
h5committested before the last checkin. Will run another
h5committest shortly, but it shouldn't be necessary as there
are no new changes.
