So, I'm torn about whether we should be adding all the fsmap definitions
into xfsprogs.  (I know... I did it for statx; I'm wondering if that was a
bad precedent, and/or if it being a syscall makes it a different situation...).

I don't know when we ever deprecate or remove this stuff.

If you use packaged kernels, you'll get updated headers pretty quickly, right,
or on a devel box you might install your own?

Not trying to be difficult, just trying to make sure we have a consistent
plan for new interfaces like this...

Thanks,
-Eric
