Fair enough. However, this rather important issue is pretty much

If header file for public interface (<linux/lzo1x.h> documents about
'unsafe' vs. 'safe' then it should be enough.
and Reiser4 is
already using the lzo1x_decompress() function rather than the
seemingly more appropriate lzo1x_decompress_safe() function...

rc2/2.6.22-rc2-mm1/broken-out/reiser4-use-lzo-library-functions.patch
Perhaps a rename is in order:
lzo1x_decompress() => lzo1x_decompress_unsafe()
lzo1x_decompress_safe => lzo1x_decompress()
Or perhaps make reiserfs use _safe() instead - I think Richard has
already submitted patch for same.
