Note that you also fix intra-filesystem copy_file_range on these
generated filesystems. This is IMHO great, but needs to be mentioned
in the commit message.

So technically this fixes something much older, presumably ever since
copy_file_range was introduced.

After this is merged, should this be added as an error code to the man page?

Just note, this could be a cross-fs copy (just not a cross-fs_type copy).
