So to get around the whole crashing before we finish creating the uuid tree
maybe set some flag or something that doesn't actually set the
super->uuid_tree_generation until _after_ it finishes populating the tree, and
then have the scan deal with having a half populated tree.  Just an idea, but we
have to deal with it some way.  Thanks,
