Okay, as it's been almost two weeks with no comments from the reiserfs
folks and this looks okay to me I'm going to go ahead and pull this
into the lsm/next branch as it's at least "LSM adjacent" :)  As it is
lsm/next and not lsm/stable-6.1, this should give the reiserfs folks
another couple of weeks to object if they find this to be problematic.

Thanks all.
