When does offset_fsb change?

Set this in the variable declaration?

	if (atomic_cow) ?

Or really, atomic_sw?

"Get a CoW fork"?  What does that mean?  The cow fork should be
automatically allocated when needed, right?  Or should this really read
"...when we don't get a COW mapping"?

Can this be a separate ->iomap_begin (and hence iomap ops)?  I am trying
to avoid the incohesion (still) plaguing most of the other iomap users.

You only need to indent by two more tabs for a continuation line.
