It would be more general and powerful to reflink (or clone or ...) only part of file. API could probably look like splice.
long splice(int fd_in, loff_t *off_in, int fd_out, loff_t *off_out, size_t len, unsigned int flags);
So don't add new syscall. Implement splice for two descriptors on one filesystem!
