So our testing is currently busted because of a bug in 9pfs - I need you
to rebase onto my 9p-revert branch so we can get test results we can
look at:

Eric, is this getting fixed? If it's not, and _soon_, we need to send
this revert to Linus - then put it through more testing, more asserts,
whatever you need and send it again next cycle, _after_ you've figured
out what wwent wrong.

Patch series looks good, though - if there's nothing you think needs
special attention I'll go ahead and merge it.

I wonder if at some point we could clean up the indirect extent lookup,
that's common between this code and the read paths, but that's low
priority.
