We can use the root entry as a bitmap and save allocating a 128 byte
bitmap for an IDA that contains only a few entries (30 on a 32-bit
machine, 62 on a 64-bit machine). This costs about 300 bytes of kernel
text on x86-64, so as long as 3 IDAs fall into this category, this
is a net win for memory consumption.
Thanks to Rasmus Villemoes for his work documenting the problem and
collecting statistics on IDAs.

The IDR is very similar to the radix tree. It has some functionality that
the radix tree did not have (alloc next free, cyclic allocation, a
callback-based for_each, destroy tree), which is readily implementable on
top of the radix tree. A few small changes were needed in order to use a
tag to represent nodes with free space below them. More extensive
changes were needed to support storing NULL as a valid entry in an IDR.
Plain radix trees still interpret NULL as a not-present entry.
The IDA is reimplemented as a client of the newly enhanced radix tree. As
in the current implementation, it uses a bitmap at the last level of the
tree.
