Should we make this a more strongly defined data type and later move
devid (u32) here to partially fill the hole created?

I think this is being placed towards the front of the data structure
for cache line locality given this is a hot path for file operations.
But bool types have an implementation dependent size, making them
difficult to pack.  Also there will be a tendency to want to make this
a bit field, which is probably not compatible with the smp lockless
operations being used here.  We might get in front of these issues if
we just define it as a u8 now.  Thanks,

Alex
