It might be a big deal for my O_ATOMIC work, but I'll need to need
to find that work and actually define semantics vs nasty operations
like insert and swapext for that.
Then again shifting the cow forks seems relatively easy - we'd just
need to look at the whichfork argument in the low-level helpers
basically.

True for the reflink flag. But we should be able to clear the cowblocks
tag whenever i_cnextents reaches zero.
