The block device reservation mechanism is tied into the transaction reservation mechanism and assumes the worst case scenario of a 1-1 mapping between filesystem blocks and dm blocks. This might be overkill for certain codepaths that have enough context to not require a worst-case reservation. Define an optional transaction flag to disable block reservation on a per-transaction basis. This allows any particular operation to open code a block device reservation and potentially use a more optimal reservation value.
