	This belongs in refcounttree.c and should be called
ocfs2_refcount_cow().  It should have the exact same prototype as
ocfs2_refcount_cow() does now.  Inside this function the length should
be called write_len, not cow_len, because it's the length of the write
we're trying, not the length of the actual CoW.   Rename
ocfs2_refcount_cow() to ocfs2_refcount_cow_hunk():

	/*
	 * Starting at cpos, try to CoW write_len clusters.  Don't CoW
	 * past max_cpos.  This will stop when it runs into a hole or an
	 * unrefcounted extent.
	 */
	int ocfs2_refcount_cow_hunk(struct inode *inode,
				    struct buffer_head *di_bh,
				    u32 cpos, u32 write_len, u32 max_cpos);

	/*
	 * CoW any and all clusters between cpos and cpos+write_len.
	 * Don't CoW past max_cpos.  If this returns successfully, all
	 * clusters between cpos and cpos+write_len are safe to modify.
	 */
	int ocfs2_refcount_cow(struct inode *inode,
			       struct buffer_head *di_bh,
			       u32 cpos, u32 write_len, u32 max_cpos);

	The idea is that any part of the ocfs2 code should be able to
call ocfs2_refcount_cow() for any cpos+write_len and be assured that the
clusters are writable when the function returns.
