My theory is that there's a race in iomap. There appear to be
interleaved calls to iomap_set_range_uptodate() for same page
with varying offset and length. Each call sees bitmap as _not_
entirely "uptodate" and hence doesn't call SetPageUptodate().
Even though each bit in bitmap ends up uptodate by the time
all calls finish.

Weird.  That should be prevented by the page lock that all callers
of iomap_set_range_uptodate.  But in case I miss something, does
the patch below trigger?  If not it is not jut a race, but might
be some weird ordering problem with the bitops, especially if it
only triggers on ppc, which is very weakly ordered.
