The current patch in the iomap branch contains the chunks that add the
helper function, fix iomap, and whatever chunks for other filesystems
that don't cause /any/ merge complaints in for-next.  That means btrfs,
ceph, ext4, and ubifs will get fixed this time around.

Seeing as it's been floating around in for-next for a week now I'd
rather not rebase the branch just to rip out the four parts that haven't
given me any headaches so that they can be applied separately. :)

The acks from the other fs maintainers were very helpful, but at the
same time, I don't want to become a shadow vfs maintainer.

Therefore, whatever's in this v4 patch that isn't in [1] will have to be
sent separately.

<urk> Yeah.
