This bit is unnecessary, because the first bit means we treat D/F conflict 
as missing in that conditional, and don't count it as an entry at all, let 
alone one with a useful name.

Looks good, although it might be wise to add an "exists" function that 
returns false for df_conflict_entry and for NULL, to make the tests 
clearer, and to get a comment to point out the meaning of 
df_conflict_entry. Also, I think df_conflict_entry can be static bss in 
unpack-trees and not accessed through o->df_conflict_entry, since it's 
always the same value (being now universally initialized to a static 
pointer to heap...).
