 * Function:    gpfs_access_range
 * Purpose:     Declares an access range within a file for an
 *              application.
 *
 *              The application will access file offsets within the given
 *              range, and will not access offsets outside the range.
 *              Violating this hint may produce worse performance than if
 *              no hint was specified.
 *
 *              This hint is useful in situations where a file is
 *              partitioned coarsely among several nodes. If the ranges
 *              do not overlap, each node can specify which range of the
 *              file it will access, with a performance improvement in
 *              some cases, such as for sequential writing within a
