	    osd_file::open: open a new file.

	    Parameters:

	        path - path to the file to open

	        openflags - some combination of:

	            OPEN_FLAG_READ - open the file for read access
	            OPEN_FLAG_WRITE - open the file for write access
	            OPEN_FLAG_CREATE - create/truncate the file when opening
	            OPEN_FLAG_CREATE_PATHS - specifies that non-existant paths
	                    should be created if necessary

	        file - reference to an osd_file::ptr to receive the newly-opened file
	            handle; this is only valid if the function returns FILERR_NONE

	        filesize - reference to a uint64_t to receive the size of the opened
	            file; this is only valid if the function returns FILERR_NONE

	    Return value:

	        a file_error describing any error that occurred while opening
	        the file, or FILERR_NONE if no error occurred

	    Notes:

	        This function is called by core_fopen and several other places in
	        the core to access files. These functions will construct paths by
	        concatenating various search paths held in the options.c options
	        database with partial paths specified by the core. The core assumes
	        that the path separator is the first character of the string
	        PATH_SEPARATOR, but does not interpret any path separators in the
	        search paths, so if you use a different path separator in a search
	        path, you may get a mixture of PATH_SEPARATORs (from the core) and
	        alternate path separators (specified by users and placed into the
	        options database).

    osd_work_queue_alloc: create a new work queue

    Parameters:

            WORK_QUEUE_FLAG_IO - indicates that the work queue will do some
                I/O; this may be a useful hint so that threads are created
                even on single-processor systems since I/O can often be
                overlapped with other work

            WORK_QUEUE_FLAG_MULTI - indicates that the work queue should
                take advantage of as many processors as it can; items queued
                here are assumed to be fully independent or shared

            WORK_QUEUE_FLAG_HIGH_FREQ - indicates that items are expected
                to be queued at high frequency and acted upon quickly; in
                general, this implies doing some spin-waiting internally
                before falling back to OS-specific synchronization

    Return value:

        A pointer to an allocated osd_work_queue object.

    Notes:

        A work queue abstracts the notion of how potentially threaded work
        can be performed. If no threading support is available, it is a
