/*
 * At a granularity of 4KiB storage represented per bit,
 * and stroage sizes of several TiB,
 * and possibly small-bandwidth replication,
 * the bitmap transfer time can take much too long,
 * if transmitted in plain text.
 *
 * We try to reduce the transferred bitmap information
 * by encoding runlengths of bit polarity.
 *
 * We never actually need to encode a "zero" (runlengths are positive).
 * But then we have to store the value of the first bit.
 * The first bit of information thus shall encode if the first runlength
 * gives the number of set or unset bits.
 *
 * We assume that large areas are either completely set or unset,
 * which gives good compression with any runlength method,
 * even when encoding the runlength as fixed size 32bit/64bit integers.
 *
 * Still, there may be areas where the polarity flips every few bits,
 * and encoding the runlength sequence of those areas with fix size
 * integers would be much worse than plaintext.
 *
 * We want to encode small runlength values with minimum code length,
 * while still being able to encode a Huge run of all zeros.
 *
 * Thus we need a Variable Length Integer encoding, VLI.
 *
 * For some cases, we produce more code bits than plaintext input.
 * We need to send incompressible chunks as plaintext, skip over them
 * and then see if the next chunk compresses better.
 *
 * We don't care too much about "excellent" compression ratio for large
 * runlengths (all set/all clear): whether we achieve a factor of 100
 * or 1000 is not that much of an issue.
 * We do not want to waste too much on short runlengths in the "noisy"
 * parts of the bitmap, though.
 *
 * There are endless variants of VLI, we experimented with:
 *  * simple byte-based
 *  * various bit based with different code word length.
 *
 * To avoid yet an other configuration parameter (choice of bitmap compression
 * algorithm) which was difficult to explain and tune, we just chose the one
 * variant that turned out best in all test cases.
 * Based on real world usage patterns, with device sizes ranging from a few GiB
 * to several TiB, file server/mailserver/webserver/mysql/postgress,
 * mostly idle to really busy, the all time winner (though sometimes only
 * marginally better) is:

/*
 * encoding is "visualised" as
 * __little endian__ bitstream, least significant bit first (left most)
 *
 * this particular encoding is chosen so that the prefix code
 * starts as unary encoding the level, then modified so that
 * 10 levels can be described in 8bit, with minimal overhead
 * for the smaller levels.
 *
 * Number of data bits follow fibonacci sequence, with the exception of the
 * last level (+1 data bit, so it makes 64bit total).  The only worse code when
 * encoding bit polarity runlength is 1 plain bits => 2 code bits.
