Reserve and write heads are not log sequence numbers (LSNs). A LSN
is a cycle:block count tuple, while a grant head is a cycle:byte
count tuple....
Calling the reserve_grant_head/write_grant_head would make more
sense, I think, as would splitting them into cycle/byte output
pairs. Splitting them make sense because if we increase the log size
beyond 2GB we're going to need a different in-memory representation
for the grant heads (i.e. need more than 32 bits for byte count), so
we should probably handle that up front in the sysfs API...
Cheers,
Dave.
