Hmm, I'd thought "offline" would migrate to EXTENT_UNKNOWN, but

I disagree - why would you want to indicate the state is unknown
when we know
very well that it is offline?
If you don't like "UNKNOWN", what about "UNMAPPED"? I just want a
catch-all flag that indicates "this extent contains data but there is
nothing sensible to be returned for the extent mapping."
I like UNMAPPED. I even use it in NTFS internally for extents maps
that have not been read into memory yet. (-:
Oops, I use NOT_MAPPED in NTFS rather than UNMAPPED but I still like
UNMAPPED, too. (-:
