Please split the new dax infrastructure from the XFS changes.

These looks like unrelated whitespace changes.

I don't see why this would have to be exported.

The cow variable is only used once, so I think we can drop it.

Please comment this as it is a little unusual.

The ->iomap_end convention is to return 0 or a negative error code.
Also i'd much prefer to just spell this out in a normal sequential way:

	if (!xfs_is_cow_inode(ip))
		return 0;

	if (iter->processed <= 0) {
		xfs_reflink_cancel_cow_range(ip, pos, length, true);
		return 0;
	}

	return xfs_reflink_end_cow(ip, pos, iter->processed);

	if (IS_DAX(inode))
		return dax_iomap_zero_range(inode, pos, len, did_zero,
					    &xfs_dax_write_iomap_ops);
	return iomap_zero_range(inode, pos, len, did_zero,
				&xfs_buffered_write_iomap_ops);

Same here.
