Sorry. I really like closures and shared_ptr, so support
for earlier compiler versions is unlikely.

Needed for btrfs.h and ctree.h during compile.
Not needed at runtime.

This library is only required for a feature that was removed after v0.1.
The lingering support code can be removed.

Don't bother trying to make Bees work with older kernels. It won't

Don't bother trying to make Bees work with kernel versions older
than 4.4.3. It may appear to work, but it won't end well: there are
too many missing features and bugs to work around.
* Minimum *recommended* Linux kernel version: 4.11
Kernel versions between 4.4.3 and 4.11 are usable with bees, but bees
can trigger known performance bugs and hangs in dedup-related functions.
Earlier kernels are usable with bees, but bees can trigger a few
performance bugs and hangs in dedup-related functions.
When in doubt, use a newer kernel version. As of kernel 4.15.3 there
is no released Linux kernel that has no known bugs.
