In order to assign backing data memory to files there needs to be the
ability to allocate blocks of data from the large contiguous reserved
memory block of filesystem memory. Here an allocated is added to serve
that purpose. For now it's a simple bitmap allocator: each bit
corresponds to a 2 MiB chunk in the filesystem data block.
On initialisation the bitmap is allocated for a fixed size (TODO: make
this dynamic based on filesystem memory size). Allocating a block
involves finding and setting the next free bit.
Allocations will be done in the next commit which adds support for
truncating files.
It's quite limiting having a fixed size bitmap, and we perhaps want to
look at making this a dynamic and potentially large allocation early in
boot using the memblock allocator. It may also turn out that a simple
bitmap is too limiting and something with more metadata is needed.
