Nova maintains per-CPU inode tables, and inode numbers are striped across the
tables (i.e., inos 0, n, 2n,... on cpu 0; inos 1, n + 1, 2n + 1, ... on cpu 1).

The inodes themselves live in a set of linked lists (one per CPU) of 2MB
blocks.  The last 8 bytes of each block points to the next block.  Pointers to
heads of these list live in PMEM block INODE_TABLE0_START and are replicated in
PMEM block INODE_TABLE1_START.  Additional space for inodes is allocated on
demand.

To allocate inodes, Nova maintains a per-cpu inuse_list in DRAM holds a RB
tree that holds ranges of unallocated inode numbers.
