Btrfs: introduce the free space B-tree on-disk format
The on-disk format for the free space tree is straightforward. Each block group is represented in the free space tree by a free space info item that stores accounting information: whether the free space for this block group is stored as bitmaps or extents and how many extents of free space exist for this block group (regardless of which format is being used in the tree). Extents are (start, FREE_SPACE_EXTENT, length) keys with no corresponding item, and bitmaps instead have the FREE_SPACE_BITMAP type and have a bitmap item attached, which is just an array of bytes.
