Porting to fs/iomap can be done after merge, so long as the ntfs3
driver doesn't depend on crazy reworking of buffer heads or whatever.
AFAICT it didn't, so ... yes, my earlier statements still apply: "later
as a clean up".

I on the other hand hate piling up mor of this legacy stuff, as it tends
to not be cleaned up by the submitted.  Example: erofs still hasn't
switched to iomap despite broad claims,

<shrug> I was letting that one go while willy tries to land all the
folio surgery on the iomap code.

also we still have a huge backlog in the switch to the new mount API.

That's true, though having /read/ the xfs conversion series, I'm not
surprised that most maintainers don't want to do the heavy lift
themselves.
