Sigh. Given my druthers there would be a lot fewer, but somewhat larger, patches
in this set. I will happily make this change, but fear reprisal from those who
want a bizzilion tiny patches. (You know who you are) Also note that this is not
an externally visible structure, and that the lsm_ctx structure that is user
visible hasn't been introduced yet.
