Hi, Christoph

I did not use a switch-case here is because that I still have to introduce a 'goto' for CoW(Writing on IOMAP_UNWRITTEN and the two different iomap indicate that it is a CoW operation. Then goto IOMAP_MAPPED branch to do the data copy and pfn insertion.)  You said the 'goto' makes the code convoluted.  So, I avoided to use it and refactored this part into so much if-else, which looks similar in dax_iomap_actor().  So, what's your opinion now?
