We don't need anything specific for interval rbtree. The rbtree used in
the kernel provides augmentation functions for insert and erase (see
rb_augment_insert() and rb_augment_erase_begin() +
rb_augment_erase_end()).
What they basically do is call a user-provided callback for each node
from the newly inserted (or deepest after deletion) node up to the root
of the tree. You can see our code at 'tools/kvm/util/rbtree-interval.c',
basically all we need are the 2 augmentation functions I've mentioned
above.
