Hmmm.  I suppose that works, but it feels a little funny to convert the
delalloc mapping in the data fork to unwritten /while/ there's unwritten
extents in the cow fork too.  Would it make more sense to remap the cow
fork extents here?

OTOH unwritten extents in the cow fork get changed to written ones by
all the cow remapping functions.  Soooo maybe we don't want to go
digging /that/ deep into the system.
