From: Wedson Almeida Filho <walmeida@microsoft.com>

Allow Rust file systems to initialise superblocks, which allows them
to be mounted (though they are still empty).

Some scaffolding code is added to create an empty directory as the root.
It is replaced by proper inode creation in a subsequent patch in this
series.

This is really the position of some data within a file, in bytes.

Ergh, I really wish this was loff (or LOff if we're really doing
camelcase for rust code) for somewhat better greppability.

                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is a gross way to handle anonymous struct fields.  What happens
when struct inode changes and we have to do a giant treewide sed?

(and yes, I understand that's likely going to be a rustc change...)
