Hi Kent,

I thought you'd follow Christians proposal to actually work with
people to try to use common APIs (i.e. to use iomap once it's been
even more iter-like, for which I'm still waiting for suggestions),
and make your new APIs used more widely if they are a good idea
(which also requires explaining them better) and aim for 6.7 once
that is done.

But without that, and without being in linux-next and the VFS maintainer
ACK required for I think this is a very bad idea.
