Create a version of the xbitmap that handles 32-bit integer intervals and adapt the xfs_agblock_t bitmap to use it. This reduces the size of the interval tree nodes from 48 to 36 bytes and enables us to use a more efficient slab (:0000040 instead of :0000048) which allows us to pack more nodes into a single slab page (102 vs 85). As a side effect, the users of these bitmaps no longer have to convert between u32 and u64 quantities just to use the bitmap; and the hairy overflow checking code in xagb_bitmap_test goes away. Later in this patchset we're going to add bitmaps for xfs_agino_t, xfs_rgblock_t, and xfs_dablk_t, so the increase in code size (5622 vs. 9959 bytes) seems worth it. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
