I should have mentioned, this is based on and includes a reworked version of Luis' submission at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-cpio/2020-07/msg00001.html .

This patchset adds support for Linux copy_file_range() syscall usage via a new '--reflink' copy-out parameter. The syscall can considerably improve archive creation performance and space efficiency on copy-on-write filesystems such as XFS and Btrfs by performing a metadata only reflink instead of regular read/write copy.

An additional '--chain' parameter is also added for appending a new archive to an existing file. This is useful for Linux initramfs images, which can be chained back-to-back.
Unit test coverage for both new parameters is provided.

This patch set also carries the queued change at https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?9263 .
