Huh? You can't really do that because the page cache manages files in
4k pages. If you have a 1M extent and you touch one byte in the file,
thus making one 4k page dirty, are you really saying that btrfs will
write that modified 4k page somewhere else and NOT free the 4k block
that is no longer used? Why the heck not?
