grep RESERVED fs/jffs2/nodelist.h

The danger in reducing it too far is that you'll run out of free space 
entirely, so that garbage collection cannot continue and your file system 
gets entirely stuck. We ought to be able to reduce it to only a block or 
two, but the code wants auditing for safety first - we have to ensure that 
we never expand while garbage-collecting.
