Status update coming. Did journalling of updates to interior btree nodes a few
months ago to get rid of FUA writes and for other reasons and that turned out to
be more work than expected; still debugging the new btree key cache code which
is needed to fully fix recovery from unclean shutdown.

Main blocker for merging is the dio cache coherency thing. That and working
through all known bugs. There's an outstanding data corruption bug someone in
the IRC channel is helping track down. Bleh. Debugging is endless.
