 qnx6fs shares many properties with traditional Unix filesystems. It has the
 concepts of blocks, inodes and directories.

 On QNX it is possible to create little endian and big endian qnx6 filesystems.
 This feature makes it possible to create and use a different endianness fs
 for the target (QNX is used on quite a range of embedded systems) platform
 running on a different endianness.

 The qnx6fs filesystem allocation bitmap is stored in a tree under bitmap

 ------------------
 
 The bitmap itself is divided into three parts.

 First the system area, that is split into two halves.

 Then userspace.
 
 The requirement for a static, fixed preallocated system area comes from how
 qnx6fs deals with writes.

 Each superblock got it's own half of the system area. So superblock #1
 always uses blocks from the lower half while superblock #2 just writes to
 blocks represented by the upper half bitmap system area bits.
