Yes.

Not necessarily, if someone calls the fscounter scrubber without calling
the ag header scrubbers then they could be wrong. Granted, the incore
counters are supposed to match ondisk counters and unless there's a
software bug or bad memory then they're going to match. Ok, I think I'm
convinced that we can use the incore counters here, along with a warmup
function in the setup function to make sure pagf_init and pagi_init == 1
and spot check the correspondence.

Oh, hey, the ag header scrubbers don't check the incore counters either.
I'll add that too.

That sounds like a nice way to speed this up further.

TBH I was half convinced that the ifree check here only needed to make
sure that the value isn't larger than the number of possible inodes in
the filesystem, since we do all the thresholding stuff later anyway.

Yeah, I'm going to ponder this while I make dinner...

Hmm. Yeah, we don't need to do that again.

100% Magic. :)
