The goal is to avoid mixing those routines with "character devices"
(acia, vpd, kbd) which aren't block devices and have routines that
have different expectations.
This is a first step to fixing #64.
Yup, that's ultimately why I've just made this whole big zasm
refactoring in the previous commits. To allow for this.
But also, zasm is in much better shape now...
The dual scraptchpad thing doesn't work. Things become very
complicated when it's time to write that back to the file. We
overwrite our contents and end up with garbage.
This hard-binds ed to the filesystem (I liked the idea of working
only with blockdevs though...), but this is necessary for the
upcoming `w` command. We need some kind of way to tell the
destination to write to truncate itself.
This only has a meaning in the filesystem, but it's necessary to
let the file know that its registered file size has possibly
shrunk.
I thought of alternatives that would have allowed me to keep ed
blkdev-centered, but they were all too hackish to my own taste.
Hence, this new hard-bind on files.
