adb6add99a Windows: VolumeInfoReadOnlyFlag registry option
Windows 7 Explorer Shell has a bug when processing drive letters
mapped to UNC paths whose target volume information specifies the
FILE_READ_ONLY_VOLUME flag.  When set, not only is the .readonly
volume treated as read only but all volumes that can be accessed via the
drive letter.   This bug is fixed in Windows 8.

Add a registry configuration option to permit configuration of the
behavior.  Sites that do not use drive letter mappings will want to
enable it even on Windows 7 because it permits the Explorer Shell
to disable the "Delete" and "Rename" options and others when the current
directory is read only.

The default is disabled on Win7 and below; enabled on Win8 and above.

2ca80b4b6a Windows: Direct IO Support for Service
This patchset implements and enables by default the new
Direct IO pathway between the AFS redirector and the afsd_service.exe.
When Direct IO is enabled all reads and writes are performed by the
AFS redirector locking memory allocated by the kernel and mapping it into
the service's memory address space.

The service supports cache bypass in this mode when the
AFS_REQUEST_FLAG_CACHE_BYPASS flag is set in the request from the
redirector.  When cache bypass is active, the AFSCache file is ignored and
data is either directly fetched from or stored to the file server.  Cache
bypass is enabled by IIS and other applications that request no
intermediate buffering when opening file handles.   This is often done
because the application implements its own data caching.  All cache bypass
store operations are synchronous.

When cache bypass is not enabled, the memory region provided by the AFS
redirector is either used to populate the cm_buf_t objects or is populated
by them.  When cache bypass is not enabled, one outstanding store
operation can be in flight asynchronously to improve performance.

Direct IO is enabled by default and can be disabled by creating the
registry value.

  ..\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\Parameters
  "DirectIO"  DWORD  0x0
