Btrfs On Linux 3.2

Btrfs file-system benchmarking under the Linux 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2 Git kernels. The Linux 3.2 kernel was as of 12 November Git. Testing for a future article on Phoronix.com. Also with the latest Btrfs user-space programs. More Btrfs and EXT4 file-system benchmarks from the Linux 3.2 kernel will come soon.
