Hi all,

These patches fix a few problems that I noticed in the code that deals
with old btree blocks after a successful repair. First, we clarify how
the reaping function works w.r.t. bitmap lifetimes.  Next we fix a bug
where we could incorrectly invalidate old btree blocks if they were
crosslinked.  Finally, we convert the reap function to use EFIs so that
we can delete blocks without overloading a transaction.

If you're going to start using this mess, you probably ought to just
pull from my git trees, which are linked below.

This is an extraordinary way to destroy everything.  Enjoy!
Comments and questions are, as always, welcome.
