/**************************************************************************
 *
 *                To Do:
 *
 *    Code Changes:
 *
 *	 - Change protect/unprotect to lock/unlock.
 *
 *     - Flush entries in increasing address order in
 *       H5C__make_space_in_cache().
 *
 *     - Also in H5C__make_space_in_cache(), use high and low water marks
 *       to reduce the number of I/O calls.
 *
 *     - When flushing, attempt to combine contiguous entries to reduce
 *       I/O overhead.  Can't do this just yet as some entries are not
 *       contiguous.  Do this in parallel only or in serial as well?
 *
 *	 - Fix nodes in memory to point directly to the skip list node from
 *         the LRU list, eliminating skip list lookups when evicting objects
 *         from the cache.

 * Function:    H5C_create
 *
 * Purpose:     Allocate, initialize, and return the address of a new
 *        instance of H5C_t.
 *
 *        In general, the max_cache_size parameter must be positive,
 *        and the min_clean_size parameter must lie in the closed
 *        interval [0, max_cache_size].
 *
 *        The check_write_permitted parameter must either be NULL,
 *        or point to a function of type H5C_write_permitted_func_t.
 *        If it is NULL, the cache will use the write_permitted
 *        flag to determine whether writes are permitted.
 *
 * Return:      Success:        Pointer to the new instance.
 *              Failure:        NULL

 *              shuts down the slist:

 *                 to step 3.
