Please add a comment to explain this where the XFS_BMAPI_EXTSZALIGN
flag is set, because it's not at all obvious what it is doing or why
it is needed from the name of the variable or the implementation.

ok, fine. But that is as long as we just are doing the alignment for XFS_BMAPI_EXTSZALIGN (and not always, as Christoph queried).

Thanks,
John
