A reserv also happens when a process needs multiple devices (eg two
tapedrives) in different deviceclasses and only one is available. That
one is then reserved, while the process waits for the other to become
available, making sure the reserved drive is still available for use
when the other resource becomes available. Happens to us all the time.
