It might be useful to mention why the calls to fscrypt_limit_dio_pages() are
needed.  (It's because the iomap code works directly with logical ranges, so it
doesn't have a chance to do fscrypt_mergeable_bio() on every page.)

You probably should add linux-xfs@...r.kernel.org to Cc, as per
'./scripts/get_maintainer.pl fs/iomap/'.
