These values are only set/checked on the .block_start parameter so you
can possibly remove the .start/.orig_start from the above comment.

<rant>
I just realise how badly named this struct is. Because we really have
on-disk extents and in-memory extents (similar to XFS nomenclature) and
the extent_map name doesn't really bring those 2 things together

I'm used to write the structure members as type::member, which resembles
the C++ syntax. There are already a few recently added examples in the
code documentation, eg. the device mutexes in volume.c. I'd like to
maintain some consistency so that it's clear which syntax we use for
btrfs documentataion. The .member also looks acceptable to me, though
I'd prefer the :: way.

Seems there still are a few tucked away:

$ grep -n " = EXTENT_MAP_" *.[ch] | grep -v block_start
file-item.c:996:		em->orig_start = EXTENT_MAP_HOLE;
inode.c:6969:	em->start = EXTENT_MAP_HOLE;
inode.c:6970:	em->orig_start = EXTENT_MAP_HOLE;

Thanks,
Ed
