I'm sorry I got distracted at the end of year and did not finish the
series.

fe_phys_length will be always valid, so other the flags are set only if it's
not equal to the logical length.

This is my understanding and contradicts the first point.

I've kept only FIEMAP_EXTENT_DATA_COMPRESSED, I don't see a need for
FIEMAP_EXTENT_PHYS_LENGTH and this would be yet another flag because the
FIEMAP_EXTENT_DATA_ENCODED is also implied.

I'll send V4, we can discuss the PHYS_LENGTH flag then.
