We could of course have the interface work either on a copy of the tree
or on a real OF (though that means changing things like get_property on
powerpc and fixing the gazillions of users) but I tend to think that
working on a copy always is more efficient.
The patch that I posted creates a copy in the virtual filesystem
domain. So the efficiency issue is moot.
The filesystem domain copy is smaller than the in-memory tree, as it
omits a lot of unnecessary fields.
