Ok.  My plan for this is to change this patch to add the new iter code
to apply.c, and change patch 24 to remove iomap_apply.  I'll add a patch
on the end to rename apply.c to iter.c, which will avoid breaking the
history.

I'll send the updated patches as replies to this series to avoid
spamming the list, since I also have a patchset of bugfixes to send out
and don't want to overwhelm everyone.
