I'll come some minor bits on the actual patches, but I'd like to
understand a few fundamental things first:
For one Darrick has introduced a new rmapxbt btree recently, which
allows using a rmap on reflink enabled file systems. In his tree
we thus have two different implementation of a reverse mapping
btree. Is there any good reason to keep it this way? For one
reflinks are a compelling feature that I doubt people want to
disable in the long run, so most filesystem will be using rmapxbt.
I also don't think having these two implementations is good for the
testing matrix in the long run.
