Should the driver even be saying that it has FUA support in this case?  If the
driver didn't claim FUA support, that would also solve this problem.

iomap is an implementation detail, so it shouldn't be mentioned in UAPI
documentation.  UAPI documentation should describe user-visible behavior only.

This is overloading the IOMAP_F_DIRTY flag to mean something other than dirty.
Perhaps this flag needs to be renamed, or a new flag should be added?

Make this a bool?

Where is it validated that only valid values (0 or 1) can be written to this
file?
