Urgh, I meant "copy the comment directly to here", e.g.

/*
 * Convert REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES modifiers into fallocate mode
 *
 * If the caller requires allocation, select that mode.  If the caller
 * doesn't want deallocation, call zeroout to write zeroes the range.
 * Otherwise, punch out the blocks.
 */

The goal here is to reinforce the notion that FL_ZERO_RANGE is how we
achieve nounmap zeroing...
