Hi Christoph,

'still a mess' isn't all that useful for figuring out what still needs
to be done and splitting up the work.  Do you have items beyond my own
list below?

 - still arguing over what exactly FALLOC_FL_ZERO_REINIT_WHATEVER_PONIES
   should be doing
 - no reflink support, encompassing:
 - hwpoison from mmap regions really ought to tell the fs that bad stuff
   happened
 - mm rmap can't handle more than one owner
