// File is the base class for anything that can be referenced by a FileDescription.
//
// The most important functions in File are:
//
// read() and write()
//   - Implement reading and writing.
//   - Return the number of bytes read/written, OR a negative error code.
//
// can_read() and can_write()
//
//   - Used to implement blocking I/O, and the select() and poll() syscalls.
//   - Return true if read() or write() would succeed, respectively.
//   - Note that can_read() should return true in EOF conditions,
//     and a subsequent call to read() should return 0.
//
// ioctl()
//
//   - Optional. If unimplemented, ioctl() on this File will fail with -ENOTTY.
//   - Can be overridden in subclasses to implement arbitrary functionality.
//   - Subclasses should take care to validate incoming addresses before dereferencing.
//
// mmap()
//
//   - Optional. If unimplemented, mmap() on this File will fail with -ENODEV.
//   - Called by mmap() when userspace wants to memory-map this File somewhere.
//   - Should create a Region in the Process and return it if successful.
