A fairly substantial architectural write-up with community

Thanks for posting these.  I'm pretty sure these patches will
get some sort of makeover before beeing ready, but they are
an important building block for some of the interesting work
we're planning to do (like the multi device work or ssd-aware
allocators), so there will be some action on it.


Yep. It would be good if there was some kind of write-up on
those plans since the feature will be fairly intrusive. I assume
it's been a back-of-the-envelope-with-beer kind of discussion
so far ..
