OK, things are not that bad.

In fact, the btrfs_read_file() implementation in btrfs-fuse has the same 
naming, same lookup_file_extent() (just a little naming different than 
lookup_data_extent()), same parameter list.

Just without the unaligned sector handling (handled by FUSE, and it may 
also be unnecessary for U-boot too), and already have the correct 
handling for lookup_file_extent(), thanks to the selftest.

So this already means, it can be pretty easy for U-boot to take code 
from btrfs-fuse part by part, without huge refactor again.

Thanks,
