Hmm.. not that I'm aware of..? Please elaborate if there's a case you're
suspicious of because I could have certainly got my wires crossed.

My thinking is that end_fsb reflects the first fsb beyond the target
range. I.e., it's calculated and used as such in xfs_iomap_end_fsb() and
the various xfs_trim_extent() calls throughout the rest of the function.
