Mikulas Patocka 550929faf8 dm persistent data: rename node to btree_node
This patch fixes a compilation failure on sparc32 by renaming struct node.

struct node is already defined in include/linux/node.h. On sparc32, it
happens to be included through other dependencies and persistent-data
doesn't compile because of conflicting declarations.

Joe Thornber a3aefb395e dm persistent data: remove redundant value_size arg from value_ptr
Now that the value_size is held within every node of the btrees we can
remove this argument from value_ptr().

For the last few months a BUG_ON has been checking this argument is
the same as that held in the node.  No issues were reported.  So this
is a safe change.

Joe Thornber 3241b1d3e0 dm: add persistent data library
The persistent-data library offers a re-usable framework for the storage
and management of on-disk metadata in device-mapper targets.

It's used by the thin-provisioning target in the next patch and in an
upcoming hierarchical storage target.

For further information, please read
