But while looking (briefly only for now) over patch 3 I couldn't
see any sync-ing of the log-dirty ranges there either. Doesn't
this need doing either there or here, if you go the copy route?

For one these look all pretty similar, so I wonder why there's
no helper function. But that's not something you need to change.
Yet why are you freeing the log-dirty ranges here? These aren't
full cleanup paths afaict.
