Yeah, it doesn't really work so well for one of the patches in this
series:
if (buffer_new(bh)) {
...
folio_zero_segments(folio,
to, block_end,
block_start, from);
("zero between block_start and block_end, except for the region
specified by 'from' and 'to'"). Except that for some reason the
ranges are specified backwards, so it's not obvious what's going on.
Converting that to folio_zero_ranges() would be a possibility, at the
expense of complexity in the caller, or using 'max' instead of 'end'
would also add complexity to the callers.

Done!
