In preparation for special handling of subranges, lift the zeroed
mapping logic from the iterator into the caller. Since this puts the
pagecache dirty check and flushing in the same place, streamline the
comments a bit as well.

I don't want to block this improvement on stylistic things, but
I still don't like moving more code than the function invocation into
the iter body.  I hope you're okay with me undoing that sooner or later.

I actually think it's easier for you to just fix it up according to your
needs rather than spin around on the list on it, since I'm not totally
clear on what the goal is here anyways.

Not sure if you saw my comment here [1], but my goal is to eventually
remove this code anyways in favor of something that supports more of a
sparse folio iteration. Whether it gets removed first or reworked in the
meantime as part of broader cleanups isn't such a big deal. I just want
to point that out so it's clear it's not worth trying too hard to
beautify it.

Sounds good, thanks!
