This patch adds infrastructure for managing reads and writes to the underlying storage layer for the deduplication index. The deduplication index uses dm-bufio for all of its reads and writes, so part of this infrastructure is managing the various dm-bufio clients required. It also adds the buffered reader and buffered writer abstractions, which simplify reading and writing metadata structures that span several blocks. This patch also includes structures and utilities for encoding and decoding all of the deduplication index metadata, collectively called the index layout.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
