These variables are a little misnamed now.  But I'm not sure what a
better name would be.
Yes, foff and flen would be ambiguous -- is f folio or file?  I tend
to prefer 'offset' and 'length', but we already have a loff_t length
and having both a len and a length isn't conducive to understanding.
Maybe rename loff_t length to extent_len?

I'm going to leave it for now unless we have a really good suggestion.

Another use case for the helper I suggested earlier.
Deleted in the very next patch, alas.
