* NOTES:
*
* The public functions in this file form an API that hides the internal
* structure of a FSM page. This allows freespace.c to treat each FSM page
* as a black box with SlotsPerPage "slots". fsm_set_avail() and
* fsm_get_avail() let's you get/set the value of a slot, and
* fsm_search_avail() let's you search for a slot with value >= X.
* fsm_get_avail() let you get/set the value of a slot, and
* fsm_search_avail() lets you search for a slot with value >= X.

* The idea is to graduall expand our "search triangle", that is, all
* nodes covered by the current node. In the beginning, just the target
* node is included, and more nodes to the right of the target node,
* taking wrap-around into account, is included at each step. Nodes are
* added to the search triangle in left-to-right order, starting from
* the target node. This ensures that we'll find the first suitable node
* to the right of the target node, and not some other node with enough
* free space.
* The idea is to gradually expand our "search triangle", that is, all
* nodes covered by the current node, and to be sure we search to the
* right from the start point. At the first step, only the target slot
* is examined. When we move up from a left child to its parent, we are
* adding the right-hand subtree of that parent to the search triangle.
* When we move right then up from a right child, we are dropping the
* current search triangle (which we know doesn't contain any suitable
* page) and instead looking at the next-larger-size triangle to its
* right. So we never look left from our original start point, and at
* each step the size of the search triangle doubles, ensuring it takes
* only log2(N) work to search N pages.
*
* The "move right" operation will wrap around if it hits the right edge
* of the tree, so the behavior is still good if we start near the right.
* Note also that the move-and-climb behavior ensures that we can't end
* up on one of the missing nodes at the right of the leaf level.
