While the uses of the incremental advance later look nice, this bit
is pretty ugly.  I wonder if we could just move overy everything to
the incremental advance model, even if it isn't all that incremental,
that is always call iomap_iter_advance from the processing loop and
eventually remove the call in iomap_iter() entirely?

This probably warrantd a comment even with the existing code, but really
needs one now.

Maybe spell out the usage as iter_start_pos in the field name as spos
reads a little weird?
