Write a script that walks the filesystem run xfs_bmap on every file
and directory and work out which one have extents that fall into the
bad range. If you walk into a corrupted directory, then you're
likely to see errors in dmesg, too.

In future we'll have a reverse mapping tree that will enable use to
avoid the tree walk to find the owners of corrupted regions like
this. I wrote half the code for it while I was at LCA last week ;)

Cheers,

Dave.
