The user land progs needs   a simple way to read

btrfs kernel understands it. This patch will
introduce BTRFS_IOC_GET_DEVS which dumps
every thing under fs_devices.

As of now btrfs-devlist uses this ioctl.

In the long run this ioctl would help to optimize
some part of btrfs-progs, mainly the current
btrfs filesystem show

    Just thinking out loud here, really, but can we export this
information in /sys instead, rather than adding yet more ioctls?


 I was more inclined towards (live) memory dump. But I need to fix
 btrfs-progs as well so ioctl.
