Yep, thats exactly right. Originally it was just inside the data node;
I put it into the TNC as a optimization later during development. If I use
the last eight bytes from the data node's key, and I remove the position
from ubifs_branch, then there is no longer any change to the on-disk
format, so thats should be useful. Yeah, storing the same value twice
means also needing a consistency check. What can be done is that when the
value is loaded once after mounting, it is stored in in the z-node in
memory.
