That makes sense; ext4 uses buffer heads for metadata blocks, and so
even if we were using the buffered iomap code, that only is relevant
to the data path, so the changes so that jbd2 and ext4 can suport
large blocks while updating inode table blocks, allocation bitmaps,
etc. would be needed anyway.
