Hrm. Before checking it in, it seems to me that if this situation
actually arises, there is a bug. I mean, we should never allow
reserving more blocks than we really have free...
No there is no bug. Those blocks are reserved for root, thus when
root starts using these, the number of available blocks (as in
available to other users) f_bavail should be reported as 0. The
number of blocks that are really free is stored in f_bfree.
