The new functionality aims to save each file system server from having
to implement its own block I/O routines just so that it can serve as a
root file system. The new source file (bio.c) lists the requirements
that file system servers have to fulfill in order to use the routines.

The file system may not be expecting these upcalls at arbitrary
moments, while they serve only as a performance optimization anyway.

The minixfs library only ever submits vector elements (and reads) of
the system page size. The test implementation was expecting vector
elements (and reads) of the file system block size. The resulting
mismatch caused I/O to fail in various ways, even though this did not
have an effect on the actual test.

Updating the current block size before flushing the cache, which still
contained blocks with the old block size, resulted in triggering an
assert on position alignment.
