Fix for a endianess BUG when using btrfs v0.13 with kernels older than 2.6.23
Problem:
Has of v0.13, btrfs-progs is using crc32c.c equivalent to the one found on
linux-2.6.23/lib/libcrc32c.c Since crc32c_le() changed in linux-2.6.23, when
running btrfs v0.13 with older kernels we have a missmatch between the versions
of crc32c_le() from btrfs-progs and libcrc32c in the kernel. This missmatch
causes a bug when using btrfs on big endian machines.
Solution:
btrfs_crc32c() macro that when compiling for kernels older than 2.6.23, does
endianess conversion to parameters and return value of crc32c().
This endianess conversion nullifies the differences in implementation
of crc32c_le().
If kernel 2.6.23 or better, it calls crc32c().

Before it was done by the bio end_io routine, the work queue code is able
to scale much better with faster IO subsystems.

Before, metadata checksumming was done by the callers of read_tree_block,
which would set EXTENT_CSUM bits in the extent tree to show that a given
range of pages was already checksummed and didn't need to be verified
again.
But, those bits could go away via try_to_releasepage, and the end
result was bogus checksum failures on pages that never left the cache.
The new code validates checksums when the page is read. It is a little
tricky because metadata blocks can span pages and a single read may
end up going via multiple bios.

Checksums were only verified by btrfs_read_tree_block, which meant the
functions to probe the page cache for blocks were not validating checksums.
Normally this is fine because the buffers will only be in cache if they
have already been validated.
But, there is a window while the buffer is being read from disk where
it could be up to date in the cache but not yet verified. This patch
makes sure all buffers go through checksum verification before they
are used.
This is safer, and it prevents modification of buffers before they go
through the csum code.

This allows detection of blocks that have already been written in the
running transaction so they can be recowed instead of modified again.
It is step one in trusting the transid field of the block pointers.

Reduce CPU time searching for free blocks by optimizing find_first_extent_bit
Fix find_free_extent to make better use of the last_alloc hint. Before it
was often finding blocks just before the hint.

The end_bio routines are changed to take a pointer to the extent state
struct, and the state tree is walked in order to set/clear appropriate
bits as IO completes. This greatly reduces the number of rbtree searches
done by the end_bio handlers, and reduces lock contention.
The extent_io releasepage function is changed to avoid expensive searches
for locked state.

There is now extent_map for mapping offsets in the file to disk and
extent_io for state tracking, IO submission and extent_bufers.
The new extent_map code shifts from [start,end] pairs to [start,len], and
pushes the locking out into the caller. This allows a few performance
optimizations and is easier to use.
A number of extent_map usage bugs were fixed, mostly with failing
to remove extent_map entries when changing the file.

This forces file data extents down the disk along with the metadata that
references them. The current implementation is fairly simple, and just
writes out all of the dirty pages in an inode before the commit.

This is intended to prevent accidentally filling the drive. A determined
user can still make things oops.
It includes some accounting of the current bytes under delayed allocation,
but this will change as things get optimized
