Make generic_make_request() handle arbitrary size bios
From: Kent Overstreet

Jens, the following patches are for 3.15. This builds off of immutable biovecs,
and this series in turn enables the DIO rewrite I've been working on off and on
for ages and ages, and it also will let us delete merge_bvec_fn piecemeal
(altogether merge_bvec_fn is 1500 lines of code we'll be able to delete).
This will also get us performance gains (that I've measured myself, benchmarking
on a p320h) once we push the work of splitting too-big bios all the way down to
the drivers, and I expect bigger gains for stacking block drivers due to just
processing larger bios.
I've got a patch I'll send separately for the mtip32xx driver to make it take
arbitrary size bios, it's pretty small.
Also a few related small refactoring patches.
This is on top of your for-3.15/core branch. If you want to pull these patches
from my tree, here's that:
