Dave looked at it and doesn't like the implementation. I can 
throw it into our joyride along with the needed changes to
olpcrd to mount with a root reservation of 4M or so as a
stop-gap to a better solution until we have something better.
Note that both the patch and Dave's proposal of having a sysfs 
attribute for root reservation and other attributes don't 
really address the slow performance at full issue. They just 
keep the filesystem from being filled so we don't see the condition.
