This looks good to me, thanks. While normally I would merge something
like this into the lsm/stable-X.Y branch, I'm going to merge it into
lsm/next to give it a week or two of extra testing. I think anyone
who is using reiserfs+LSM (doubtful as it looks horribly broken) would
be okay with waiting a few more days at this point :)
