+ * Large attribute lists are structured around Btrees where all the data
+ * elements are in the leaf nodes.  Attribute names are hashed into an int,
+ * then that int is used as the index into the Btree.  Since the hashval
+ * of an attribute name may not be unique, we may have duplicate keys.
+ * The internal links in the Btree are logical block offsets into the file.
+ *
+ * Small attribute lists use a different format and are packed as tightly
+ * as possible so as to fit into the literal area of the inode.
