    is implementing a new kind of reservation of journal space for the new, long
    running transactions.
 
+ * Allocation information (currently just bucket generation numbers & priority
+   numbers, for LRU caching) needs to be moved into a btree, and we need to
+   start persisting actual allocation information so we don't have to walk all
+   extents at mount time.
+
+   Just moving the existing prios/gens to a btree will be a significant
+   improvement - besides getting us incrementally closer to persisting full
+   allocation information, the existing code is a rather hacky mechanism dating
+   from the early days of bcache and has recently been the source of an annoying
+   bug due to the design being a bit fragile, and it'll be a performance
+   improvement since it'll get rid of the last source of forced journal flushes.
