For CRC enabled filesystems, the BMBT is rooted in an inode, so it
passes through a different code path on root splits than the
freespace and inode btrees. This is much less traversed by xfstests
than the other trees. When testing on a 1k block size filesystem,
I've been seeing ASSERT failures in generic/234 like:

XFS: Assertion failed: cur->bc_btnum != XFS_BTNUM_BMAP || cur->bc_private.b.allocated == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_btree.c, line: 317

which are generally preceded by a lblock check failure. I noticed
this in the bmbt stats:

$ pminfo -f xfs.btree.block_map

xfs.btree.block_map.lookup
    value 39135

xfs.btree.block_map.compare
    value 268432

xfs.btree.block_map.insrec
    value 15786

xfs.btree.block_map.delrec
    value 13884

xfs.btree.block_map.newroot
    value 2

xfs.btree.block_map.killroot
    value 0
.....

Very little coverage of root splits and merges. Indeed, on a 4k
filesystem, block_map.newroot and block_map.killroot are both zero.
