Yes.  I thought about adding a really stupid helper:

static inline bool xfs_has_sw_atomic_write(struct xfs_mount *mp)
{
	return xfs_has_reflink(mp);
}

But that seemed too stupid so I left it out.  Maybe it wasn't so dumb,
since that would be where you'd enable ZNS support by changing that to:

	return xfs_has_reflink(mp) || xfs_has_zoned(mp);
