I know - and originally the addition of unreclaimable was added later,
but when I posted the RFC I felt there was some misunderstanding about
what this data structure was and how it would be used because the
addition of the unreclaimable bits came later. So I stuck both lists in
one so it'd be a better view of what the data structure would look
like.
