Please ask before you move stuff around between trees. You've complained
to me before about this before too. I haven't agreed to that at all.

There's a bunch more iomap work coming and this will most certainly not
start going through mm trees. So if there's merge conflicts where we
rely on a helper that's in mm-next the good thing would simply to
provide a branch for us with that helper that we can base this off of.
