I didn't really figure out what was wrong with v1? Neither could handle 
more than four billion of simultaneously active requests - but I thought 
that should not concern us. :)

I don't quite get wrapping based on otherwise unused counter.

v1 made sense to wrap then any engine timeline couldn't handle all 
active requests without wrapping.

Maybe more descriptive name? reserve_gt_global_seqno?
