I agree that would be an easy enough fix, I'll make it in this patch.
Until I get 574 fully passing, I think I ought to leave the Merkle
corruption here as well, though, right?

Unfortunately, fiemap is in fact broken in btrfs in that case, and prints
silly stuff like [K..K-1]. I wrote up a fix for it, but am still figuring
out how to test it, and decided to get the verity stuff out ahead of it.

However, even if I did get that fix in, it would still not be quite
right. Btrfs fiemap is in terms of logical block addresses, so
an additional translation with btrfs-map-logical is needed, and I
couldn't figure out how to elegantly inject that into
_fsv_scratch_corrupt_bytes. I do hope to get btrfs to pass generic/574
soon, though.

Thanks for the review,
