Heh.. Yeah, I thought a bit about how to do this more incrementally as I
was hacking it up and couldn't think of a clear approach at the time.
Since a good portion of this patch is actually just renaming the agfl
reservation type, I suppose I could just separate the rename from the
logic change and hopefully clarify the latter in the process.

That would split this in two patches (changes 2 and 3 above are too
intertwined to split, I think): one for the agfl -> rmapbt rename and a
second to move the rmapbt accounting (and reintroduce a "new" agfl no-op
type). I could also factor out the tracepoint fixup, but that's a
trivial hunk either way. I'll give that a shot..
