I pulled some of the btree specific definitions back into
xfs_btree.h (key, ptr unions), but I left the bmbt_rec-host
definitions in the header as I haven't worked out exactly how to
relocate them without introducing new dependencies everywhere. Hence
I've cleaned up most of what Christoph asked for, but I'm leaving
the hard part for a separate patch(set) where it will be (hopefully)
much clearer what is being moved and what dependencies it
reintroduces.

Cheers,

Dave.
