The FSM is a three-level tree (with the default BLCKSZ), and the code 
creates all three levels right from the start. That keeps the addressing 
simple, you can easily calculate the location of the FSM entry for a 
given page. I tried to come up with an addressing scheme that would 
allow adding upper-level pages only as needed, but failed. If you have 
any ideas on that, I'm all ears. I have a feeling that there's got to be 
some well-known scheme that does that, but I didn't find it. The current 
addressing scheme is documented in storage/freespace/README, in section 
Higher-Level Structure.

Perhaps we should refrain from creating a FSM unless the table is larger 
than 1 block.
