Sent.

Although I was also contemplating swapping content of
ioctl_xfs_start_commit.2 and ioctl_xfs_commit_range.2 so
ioctl_xfs_start_commit.2 contains actual content and
ioctl_xfs_commit_range.2 includes ioctl_xfs_start_commit.2. It would allow
to maintain logical order of ioctls however I believe emphasis is on
ioctl_xfs_commit_range and perhaps its preferred to keep main content in
ioctl_xfs_commit_range.2
