Log:
  mdmfs(8): use -o reserve with malloc-backed md(4)
  
  Mentioned in mdconfig(8), malloc-backed md(4) can be unstable unless
  required memory is allocated up front with -o reserve. Furthermore, panics
  have been observed with md used in fstab on 12.0-RELEASE. Choose the stable
  route and pass -o reserve.
