Here is the fastgetattr macro.  Again, I just inlined the cacheoffset
and null handlling at the top.  Doesn't look like much code, though the
?: macro format makes it look larger.  What do you think?

I did the same with fastgetiattr, which in fact just called
index_getattr, so that is gone now.  For getsysattr, I made an array of
offsetof(), and do a lookup into the array from heap_getattr, so that is
gone too.
