                                                    the entire file was 
a hole (no extents) regardless of the value of partialmax.

Scratch the above :)
I meant to say the check was needed in the original code because of the 
bug explained above.

example:
create a directory with several files with at least 1 extent
create a file with no extents (i.e. touch empty_file)

Current code will fail for multistream dump/restore and will also fail 
for single stream if the partialmax == 0 check is removed from 
partial_reg().

In my opinion that check was just a workaround for single stream and no 
one tested an empty file with no extents, just file with one extent and 
the entire file is a hole.
