it adds flock() support, O_DIRECT open mode support and some
performance enhancments.

I plan to (from a long time, actually :) submit the patch in a more
acceptable form to the mainstream fuse. There are a few hurdles, like,
the flock() support is not 100% compliant (works for practically all
the cases) and O_DIRECT mode support is only in open but not
modifiable through fcntl(). I will try resubmiting the patch again
since I was seeing O_DIRECT support request on the fuse-devel list by
other users recently.
