Well that's a mess.  We create interval_tree_generic.h then four
commits later it vanishes, never to return.  And I can't fold
mm-interval-tree-updates.patch into
mm-replace-vma-prio_tree-with-an-interval-tree.patch because
rbtree-move-augmented-rbtree-functionality-to-rbtree_augmentedh.patch
mucks with interval_tree_generic.h within those four commits.

Ho hum.  I don't think I can be bothered untangling all this.
