fsfs-format7 integration plan

Hi all,

This is based on what was discussed in Berlin already.

The goal is to get FSFS improvements reviewed & integrated
into /trunk a.s.a.p. and to bring the code for the new backend
to /trunk as well and continue development there. So, the
plan is:

* On the fsfs-format7 branch, duplicate the fsfs-f7 code and
  turn it into a new experimental fs backend. I will name it FSX,
  with "X" standing for "experimental". It pronounce it "fisiks"
  which underlines its design goals.

* Rip out the f7 code from the fsfs backend.

* Open a "fsfs-improvements" integration branch. Merge all fsfs
  relevant changes in there in a hopefully review-friendly way.

* Let people review (give them 2 weeks) & merge the integration
  branch to /trunk.

* Continue work on fsx during that period and merge it directly
  to /trunk once the fsfs-improvements branch got closed.

Everbody fine with that? Comments?
