Register a misc device with which to talk to the daemon.  The misc device
holds a cache set up through it around and closing the device kills the
cache.

cachefilesd communicates with the kernel by passing it single-line text
commands.  Parse these and use them to parameterise the cache state.  This
does not implement the command to actually bring a cache online.  That's
left for later.
