/*
* 'buffer.c' implements the buffer-cache functions. Race-conditions have
* been avoided by NEVER letting a interrupt change a buffer (except for the
* data, of course), but instead letting the caller do it. NOTE! As interrupts
* can wake up a caller, some cli-sti sequences are needed to check for
* sleep-on-calls. These should be extremely quick, though (I hope).

/*
* NOTE! There is one discordant note here: checking floppies for
* disk change. This is where it fits best, I think, as it should
* invalidate changed floppy-disk-caches.
