    HAMMER VFS - Improve saturated write performance (2).
    
    * Change the dirty io buffer lists from TAILQs to Red-Black trees.
    
    * The dirty io buffers are sorted by disk address on a flush-group by
      flush-group basis and I/O writes are initiated in sorted order.
    
      This significantly improves write I/O throughput to normal HDs.
      Essentially what is happening here is that the sheer number of
      unsorted buffers are overwhelming the HDs own caches.  Having HAMMER
      pre-sort the buffers, of which there can be upwards of 100MBs worth,
      allow the HD to write more optimally.
