Thanks

The re-exporting of helpers is somewhat odd - why is bcachefs special
here and needs these, while others do not?

But the main issue for me are the iterator changes, which mostly just
seems like unnecessary churn. What's the justification for these? The
commit messages don;t really have any. Doesn't seem like much of a
simplification, and in fact it's more code than before and obviously
more stack usage as well.
