Thank you Jan!

Note that the updated patch series that I'll send through shortly has slightly
changed in the sense that I've split up a whole bunch of the iomap code. The
idea behind this was to reduce the overall clutter that exists within the
->iomap_begin() callback. This was recommended by Christoph, and I really like
the idea because moving forward it makes complete sense to do so. This
specific patch will remain as is though.
