It's slightly confusing to call this "indirect I/O" and then use
"extio" for the filename and function prefix. It'd be nice to use
related names.

I wish we didn't have both struct io_range and struct extio_node. It
seems like they're both sort of trying to do the same thing. Maybe
this is the same as what Alex is saying.
