Switch to using a table of operations.  In a future patch the individual
methods will be split up by type.  For the moment, however, the ops tables
just jump directly to the old functions - which are now static.  Inline
wrappers are provided to jump through the hooks.

Please run performance tests.  I think the indirect calls could totally
wreck things like high performance direct I/O, especially using io_uring
on x86.
