Aw.
And here's me having converted block/fops over to using iomap w/ 
iomap_writepage(). Tough.

Oh well.
Wasn't a great fit anyway as for a sb_bread() replacement we would need 
a sub-page access for iomap.
Question is whether we really need that or shouldn't read PAGE_SIZE 
sectors always. Surely would make life easier. And would save us all the 
logic with bh_lru etc as we can rely on the page cache.

But probably an item for the iomap discussion at LSF.

Unless you got plans already ...

Cheers,

Hannes
