Sounds good, I'll update it again.

Yeah, so it _should_ be fine.  Not really feeling like changing it now
with all the other stuff in flight, though.  And eventually I really
want to sort out a few things in the area, like confusing
__iomap_get_folio naming for the wrapper with iomap_get_folio as
the default instance, and the fact that the get_folio and invalidation
are indirect calls right next to each other.
