I'm not sure quite how binaryheap should be changed. Bringing the heap
implementation into reorderbuffer.c would obviously work, but that
would be more code. Another option might be to make the API of
binaryheap look a little more like simplehash, where some #defines
control optional behavior and can tell the implementation where to find
fields in the structure.

Perhaps it's not worth the effort though, if performance is already
good enough?
