I abstract the page/block size stuff into "chunks". i.e. we work on
the smallest contiguous chunk of data the current combination of
page and inode define. In the context of this patch, it is simply
just:

s/i_blocks_per_page/iomap_chunks_per_page/g

i.e. The helper functions end up looking like this:

static inline unsigned
iomap_chunk_size(struct inode *inode, struct page *page)
{
       return min_t(unsigned, page_size(page), i_blocksize(inode));
}

static inline unsigned
iomap_chunk_bits(struct inode *inode, struct page *page)
{
       return min_t(unsigned, page_shift(page), inode->i_blkbits);
}

static inline unsigned
iomap_chunks_per_page(struct inode *inode, struct page *page)
{
       return page_size(page) >> inode->i_blkbits;
}

and the latter is actually the same as what i_block_per_page() is
currently implemented as....

Cheers,

Dave.
