I'm not thrilled by this approach. How about exposing the iomap
operations at the vfs layer (for example, in the super block) and
implementing bmap on top of that instead?

(I realize that xfs has separate iomap operations for xattrs, but that
is only used in its fiemap implementation.)

Thanks,
Andreas
