// The result of Read is an array of bytes, but for performance
// reasons, we can also return data as a file-descriptor/offset/size
// tuple.  If the backing store for a file is another filesystem, this
// reduces the amount of copying between the kernel and the FUSE
// server.  The ReadResult interface captures both cases.
