FYI, I've got somewhat working changes in that area (still has bugs
but a few tests pass :)), what I'm doing is to make sure all of
the xfs_bmap_{add,del}_extent_* routines fully operate on xfs_bmbt_irec
structures that they acquire through the xfs_bmalloca structure or
from xfs_iext_get_extent and update using xfs_iext_update_extent.
A nice fallout from that is that we can change the prototypes for
xfs_bmbt_lookup_* and xfs_bmbt_update to take a xfs_bmbt_irec
as well instead of taking the individual arguments. That should
help with your next step cleanups a bit.
