Hi all,

This is part of the fifth revision of a patchset for adding support to
XFS for tracking reverse-mappings of physical blocks to file and
metadata; and support for mapping multiple file logical blocks to the
same physical block, more commonly known as reflinking.

This patch set does the following:

* Adds a chapter discussing the importance of thoroughly testing new
disk format changes with xfstests, and how to find the source code.

* Adds in all the disk format changes for Linux 4.5.

* Separates the btree sections into a separate chapter about the
generic btree structure, and adds a section about the new support
for overlapped interval records.

* Adds chapters discussing reflink, the reference count btree, and
* the reserve-mapping btree.

The patch set is based on the current master branch of xfs-docs[1].
Comments and questions are, as always, welcome.
