Add a IOMAP_F_ANON_WRITE flag that indicates that the write I/O does not have a target block assigned to it yet at iomap time and the file system will do that in the bio submission handler, splitting the I/O as needed. This is used to implement Zone Append based I/O for zoned XFS, where splitting writes to the hardware limits and assigning a zone to them happens just before sending the I/O off to the block layer, but could also be useful for other things like compressed I/O.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
