Ok, I created a file for the fs, ran mkfs.btrfs on it, mounted it
loopback through the loop block driver, and then tried to mount it.

Lovely oops in btrfs_search_slot it can be seen at:

Note, I'm running unstable for both the kernel module, and the userspace
tools...

Was this something that I caused with the sysfs change?  Or should I not
be testing this with a loopback filesystem?
