It duplicates fs/mpage.c in bio building and introduces new generic API
(iomap, map_blocks_t, etc). In contrast, my trivial implementation re-use
existing code in fs/mpage.c, doesn't introduce new API and I tend to think
provides quite the same functionality. I can be wrong, of course ...
thanks, Alex

I would rather not reinvent the wheel, particularly if the reinvention
