I've pulled this in. There was a minor merge-conflict with
fs/iomap/buffer_write.c that I've resolved. Please double-check that
it's sane. I'll treat this branch as stable by Friday since I know you
want to rely on it.

We can do it right now but I reckon that there might still be an ack or
two incoming that you wanted.
