Changing the free space computation doesn't seem required, but resulting
in Chris&me just discussing it on irc to convince ourselves it's not
broken accidentally now. Can you please respin you patch with this change
dropped?

In generally it's good practice to review the diff after committing a
patch and hunt for any unecessary changes. Imo even when the endresult
looks a bit ulgy (e.g. crazy ordering of static functions which requires
tons of predeclarations) it's better if the resulting diff looks cleaner.
And if things get out of hand we can always do a pure cleanup patch.
