Ugh, I had forgotten that fs/dax.c open-codes iomap_apply, probably
because the actor returns vm_fault_t, not bytes copied. I guess that
makes it a tiny bit more complicated to pass in two (struct iomap *) to
the iomap_begin function...
I am not sure I understand this. We do not use iomap_apply() in
the fault path: dax_iomap_pte_fault(). We just use iomap_begin()
and iomap_end(). So, why can we not implement your idea of using two
iomaps? What does open-coding iomap-apply mean?
