Well, there are two problems with this - firstly, ocfs2 is also using jbd2
and it knows nothing about iomap. So that would have to be implemented.
Secondly, you have to somehow pass iomap ops to jbd2 so it all boils down
to passing some callback to jbd2 during journal init to map blocks anyway
as Dave said. And then it is upto filesystem to do the mapping - usually
directly using its internal block mapping function - so no need for iomap
AFAICT.
