Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/7] Use Maple Trees for simple_offset utilities

In an effort to address slab fragmentation issues reported a few
months ago, I've replaced the use of xarrays for the directory
offset map in "simple" file systems (including tmpfs).

This patch set passes functional testing and is ready for code
review. But I don't have the facilities to re-run the performance
tests that identified the regression. We expect the performance of
this implementation will need additional improvement.

Thanks to Liam Howlett for helping me get this working.
