/*
 * We only cache some of the data that we can obtain.  For much of the data
 * (e.g. slices & disks getting repartitioned) there are no events which would
 * enable us to cache.  As more events are added we can cache more information.
 *
 * Currently we cache the information we get from the dev tree walk.  This is
 * basically the information about the drives, aliases, devpaths, controllers
 * and paths.  We do not cache any information related to media, partitions
 * or slices.
 *
 * A fundamental part of the API design is that the application can hold on
 * to a set of descriptors for an indeterminate amount of time.  Even if the
 * application does not hold descriptors there is a window of time between the
 * call that gets the descriptor and the use of the descriptor to get more
 * information.  Because of this, the cache design must work even if the object
 * that the descriptor refers to no longer exists.
 *
 * Given this requirement, the code implements a two level cache.  The
 * descriptors that the application gets are really pointers into the first
 * level of the cache.  This first level contains the actual descriptors.
 * These descriptors in turn refer to the objects we build from the dev tree
 * walk which represent the drives and controllers.  This is the second level
 * in the cache.
 *
 * When we update the second level of the cache (the drives and controllers)
 * we go through the first level (the descriptors) and update the pointers
 * in those descriptors to refer to the new objects in the second level.  If
 * the object that the descriptor referred to is no longer in existence, we
 * just null out the pointer in the descriptor.  In this way the code that
 * uses the descriptors knows that the object referred to by the descriptor
 * no longer exists.
 *
 * We keep a reference count in the descriptors.  This is incremented when
 * we hand out a pointer to the descriptor and decremented when the application
 * frees the descriptor it has.  When the reference count goes to 0 we garbage
 * collect the descriptors.  In this way we only have to update active
 * descriptors when we refresh the cache after an event.
 *
 * An example of the flow when we create descriptors:
 *    dm_get_descriptors			libdiskmgt.c
 *	drive_get_descriptors			drive.c
 *	    cache_get_descriptors		cache.c
 *		make_descriptors		cache.c
 *		    drive_make_descriptors	drive.c
 *			cache_load_desc		cache.c
 *		{update refcnts on descriptors & return them}
 *
 * The idea behind cache_get_descriptors and cache_load_desc is that we
 * seperate the act of making the descriptor within the cache (which requires
 * us to call back out to one of the object functions - drive_make_descriptors)
 * from the act of handing out the descriptor (which requires us to increment
 * the refcnt).  In this way we keep all of the refcnt handling centralized
 * in one function instead of forcing each object to ensure it replicates
 * the refcnt handling correctly.
 *
 * Descriptors use two different kinds of indrection to refer to their
 * corresponding object.  For objects we cache (controllers, paths & drives)
 * the descriptor keeps a pointer to that object.  For objects that we
 * dynamically build, the descriptor uses a combination of a pointer to the
 * base object (usually the drive) along with a name (e.g. the media name or
 * the alias).  For objects that are based on media (e.g. a slice) we actually
 * have to maintain a pointer (to the disk) and two names (e.g. the slice name
 * and the media name which is the secondary name).
