Won't help some of us, who set -m 0 on selected filesystems to begin
with.  But if we could get tune2fs -m -5 <devicename> to work, then we
could unreserve space that didn't previously exist.  Think of the
possibilties!

I'll look into that as soon as I'm done modding my C compiler to handle
the --force option.

Awesome.  Makes sense as 5% is exactly the amount of space that appeared

after running it.  Thanks!
