    Seprate on-disk encoding from in-memory and on-wire resresentation
    of overlay file handle.
    
    In-memory and on-wire we only ever pass around pointers to struct
    ovl_fh, which encapsulates at offset 3 the on-disk format struct
    ovl_fb. struct ovl_fb encapsulates at offset 21 the real file handle.
    That makes sure that the real file handle is always 32bit aligned
    in-memory when passed down to the underlying filesystem.
    
    On-disk format remains the same and store/load are done into
    correctly aligned buffer.
    
    New nfs exported file handles are exported with aligned real fid.
    Old nfs file handles are copied to an aligned buffer before being
    decoded.
