FYI, I thought about this problem a while ago in the context of
rcu lookups of the extent tree (not, I'm not doing those quite yet,
but I though of the possibilities once we've got a btree!) and
then my answer was that we'd really need a seqlock around uses of
the imaps.  I didn't think far enough that we might need something
like that even now..
