Probably should. I've already been looking at killing the inline
extents array to simplify the management of the extent list (much
simpler to index by rbtree when we don't have direct/indirect
structures), so killing the inline data would get rid of the other
part of the union the inline data sits in.
OTOH, if we're going to have to dynamically allocate the memory for
the extent/inline data for the data fork, it may just be easier to
make the entire data fork a dynamic allocation (like the attr fork).
Cheers,
Dave.
