/*
 *    IO_TXT files
 *
 *      IO_TXT covers the case where many threads are trying to write text messages
 *      sequentially (atomically) to a file.  Examples include SP_LOG_FILE and SP_MAP_FILE.
 *
 *      The file is not written directly, but by writing to mmapped virtual memory.
 *      The granularity of the mapping is a "Buffer".  There may be as many as
 *      NBUFS buffers at any one time.
 *
 *      The current position of the file is handled via hndl->curpos.
 *
 *        * It is accessed atomically with 64-bit CAS instructions.
 *
 *        * This 64-bit word encapsulates:
 *          - busy: a bit to lock access to hndl->curpos
 *          - indx: an index indicating which Buffer to use for the current position
 *          - foff: the file offset
 *
 *        * The contents are accessed with:
 *          - unpack macros: CUR_BUSY CUR_INDX CUR_FOFF
 *          -   pack macro : CUR_MAKE
 *
 *      Conceptually, what happens when a thread wants to write a message is:
 *      - acquire the hndl->curpos "busy" lock
 *        . acquire and map new Buffers if needed to complete the message
 *        . update the file offset
 *        . release the lock
 *      - write to the corresponding buffers
 *
 *      Each Buffer has a buf->left field that tracks how many more bytes
 *      need to be written to the Buffer.  After a thread writes to a Buffer,
 *      it decrements buf->left atomically.  When buf->left reaches 0, the
 *      Buffer (mapping) is deleted, freeing the Buffer for a new mapping.
 *
 *      The actual implementation has some twists:
 *
 *      * If the entire text message fits into the current Buffer -- that is,
 *        no new Buffers are needed -- the thread does not acquire the lock.
 *        It simply updates hndl->curpos atomically to the new file offset.
 *
 *      * There are various timeouts to prevent hangs in case of abnormalities.
