Additional comment here might be nice here since this amounts to a mostly
copy of idr.h and its backing implementation, with all the associated
maintenance headaches if both are in tree.


Why does it have to be at the beginning?  So an ridr_layer can be used as
an idr_layer?  This doesn't help review.  As previous commenters noted,
review would be a lot easier if this was incremental on idr.


I vaguely recall past discussion of preferred insertion point, but
lacking something in CodingStyle and especially given the redundancy
here it could be nice to add ridr.o next to idr.o.


For shifty use of an ridr_layer as an idr_layer?


This hunk is white space only...
