The *_tree API Yves mentions[1] looks like it would work.  It would just 
require rewriting a bunch of code that already work, and I don't think 
I'll have time to do that any time soon.  That's not a particularly 
satisfying answer, I'm sure!  :(

Is this a blocker for getting this plugin merged?  I can fish around on 
ceph-devel and see if someone else has some time wrangle it...

Thanks!
