59ed235c85 Kernel: Implement O_DIRECT open() flag to bypass disk caches
Files opened with O_DIRECT will now bypass the disk cache in read/write
operations (though metadata operations will still hit the disk cache.)

This will allow us to test actual disk performance instead of testing
disk *cache* performance, if that's what we want. :^)

There's room for improvment here, we're very aggressively flushing any
dirty cache entries for the specific block before reading/writing that
block. This is done by walking the entire cache, which may be slow.

c8e2bb5605 Kernel: Add a mechanism for listening for changes to an inode.
The syscall is quite simple:

    int watch_file(const char* path, int path_length);

It returns a file descriptor referring to a "InodeWatcher" object in the
kernel. It becomes readable whenever something changes about the inode.

Currently this is implemented by hooking the "metadata dirty bit" in
Inode which isn't perfect, but it's a start. :^)

04b9dc2d30 Libraries: Create top level directory for libraries.
Things were getting a little crowded in the project root, so this patch
moves the Lib*/ directories into Libraries/.
