// The fat32.h and fat32.c files define a library of access functions
// to a FAT32 disk on a block device. It is intended to be used by both 
// the boot code and the kernel code.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Implementation notes:
// 1. the "lba" (Logical Block Address) is the physical sector index on
//    the block device. The physical sector size is supposed to be 512 bytes.
// 2. the "cluster" variable is actually a cluster index. A cluster contains
//    8 sectors (4K bytes) and the cluster index is a 32 bits word.
// 3. Each file or directory referenced by the software is represented
//    by an "inode". The set of "inodes" is organised as a tree, that is 
//    a sub-tree of the complete file system existing on the block device.
// 4. A given file can be referenced by several software tasks, and each task
//    will use a private handler, called a "file descriptor", allocated by the OS
//    when the task open the file, that is organised as an indexed array.
// 5. This FAT32 library implements (N+1) caches : one private "File_ Cache" 
//    for each referenced file or directory, and a specific "Fat_Cache" for 
//    the FAT itself. Each cache contain a variable number of clusters that are
//    dynamically allocated when they are accessed, and organised as a 64-Tree.
