We could do that, in in context of just this patch it would even seem
cleaner.  But for the next merge window I have changes queued up that
remove the total parameter and it's passing along the dir/da_btree
code entirely by looking at the transaction reservation for the
!BESTEFFORT case, which I thikn is even better as a grand scheme.

Sure.
