Oh no, you only have one allocator, and you have the filesystem do it, with 
per-sb methods.  Why is this better than having the VFS do it?  Does this 
imply you might have different sized inodes with different mounts of the same 
filesystem?

The per-fs cost with my variant is: 4-8 bytes per filesystem, period.  No 
methods needed, and the object management code doesn't get replicated through 
all the filesystems.

Also, having the inode point at itself is a little, hmm, 'what's wrong with 
this picture', don't you think?
