After talking to Liam, I will have to implement the store type enum 
feature on the Maple Tree Work list so that mas_prealloc_calc() can 
start a partial walk and write that information to the enum. 
mas_wr_store_entry() can then read that enum to continue the walk that 
was already started rather than having to redo the whole walk. This 
could also be used in mas_preallocate(). Do you have any suggestions for 
the implementation of this enum?
