That will still consume up to 4 kilobytes per 32-bit counter. We'd
need to merge Kiran & Dipankar's interlace allocator to do this less

Which is why I'm waiting to see some profiles and benchmarks. Judging from
the last set of profiles, in which ext2_count_free_blocks() was not present,
this may not be justified.
