Ming Lei ac4fa1d107 block: document usage of bio iterator helpers 
Now multi-page bvec is supported, some helpers may return page by
page, meantime some may return segment by segment, this patch
documents the usage.

Dongsu Park 2ec3182f9c Documentation: update notes in biovecs about arbitrarily sized bios 
Update block/biovecs.txt so that it includes a note on what kind of
effects arbitrarily sized bios would bring to the block layer.
Also fix a trivial typo, bio_iter_iovec.

Kent Overstreet 4550dd6c6b block: Immutable bio vecs 
This adds a mechanism by which we can advance a bio by an arbitrary
number of bytes without modifying the biovec: bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done
indicates the number of bytes completed in the current bvec.

Various driver code still needs to be updated to not refer to the bvec
directly before we can use this for interesting things, like efficient
bio splitting.
