This seems like a sensible approach to me. Trying to reserve specific
blocks in an FS-independent way was what got us in trouble on ABISS.
So the plan B is to add this kind of reservation to where it is really
lacking (i.e. FAT).

Hmm, it's a bit confusing that we call both things "reservation".
Well, airlines do this too, "free seating".

In mpage_writepages, writepage can also get called with the page just
PG_locked.
