Looking again, I think I was thinking of `btrfs inspect-internal 
logical-resolve`, which actually is more like a reverse fiemap (you give 
it a logical address, and it spits out paths to all the files that 
include that logical address), so such a tool may not actually exist (at 
least, not in the standard tools).
