To me, "parent type" seems like the wrong relationship - in C++, the
parent type is the smaller type, and the child type is the larger type
that includes the parent type as its first member. That is,
BlkTransationStates IS the parent type, and the comment would read
better as "first member in child type".

Is this comment still correct, now that things are extensible, or should
you s/pivot/commit/?
If you do respin, I agree that s/rollback/abort/ might be a nicer name
for that particular callback. But I'm also quite okay with using the
patch as-is without a respin (while I pointed out two possible comment
wording changes, they don't make or break the patch for me).
