I am not certain if we need to worry about integer overflow here.
The problem case would be accessing the last block of a file that is
exactly 16TB long, on an arch where long (and thus pgoff_t) is 32-bit.
Maybe FS folks can tell us whether that case is currently supported,
or if we can just not worry about it ?

I would also want to rename the fields in struct zap_details into
start_index and end_index so we can verify we don't leave any
off-by-one uses.
