bio_vec-backed iov_iter
New variant of iov_iter - ITER_BVEC in iter->type, backed with bio_vec array instead of iovec one. Primitives taught to deal with such beasts, __swap_write() switched to using that kind of iov_iter. Note that bio_vec is just a <page, offset, length> triple - there's nothing block-specific about it. I've left the definition where it was, but took it from under ifdef CONFIG_BLOCK. Next target: ->splice_write()... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
