Given that this is where the policy is implemented now, this comment:

from xfs_reflink_convert_unwritten should probably move here now.

ok, fine, I can relocate this comment to xfs_direct_write_iomap_begin(),
but please let me know if you prefer an rewording.

I have to admit I found the wording a bit odd, but I failed to come up
with something significantly better.

maybe when you see the code, you could have a better suggestion, but I'll keep the wording the same verbatim for now.
