No stat/access calls for cached files

Actual result:
--------------

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Hello,

Unfortunately, OPcache does not permit this.
Before OPcache comes to play, PHP already has checked for every file you ask it to run, and even more : it has open()ed them, thus generating system calls to at least check that the file exists (F_OK), and even more depending on libc's implementation.

Only after the file has been successfully opened, and a file descriptor has been obtained, then the flow is passed to OPCache for furter work.
