I decided to calcule the free space in a AG directly as the space in
"freeblks" - "btreeblks".

Attached is a perl script that calculates the free space of a hole
filesystem. It's easy to modify it to get the free space from a range of
AGs, so unless there are errors, I lay it on the mailing list as an
example, and I'll adapt it later as needed. I would like to start with
the step number 2.

How is the state of the program xfs_reno.c? Can it be released in the
near future as GPL, or should I go better for now with point number 3
(that is, move data out of offline AGs)?
