If you look here:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/167391047703.2311931.8115712773222260073.stgit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

you can see additional patches fixing other users. Christoph asked if I could
pare down the patchset to the minimum to fix the bio case for the moment.

It will be easier to do the others once iov_iter_extract_pages() is upstream
as the individual bits can go via their respective maintainers.

However, I do want to see about adding cifs iteratorisation in this merge
window also, which also depends on the iov_iter_extract_pages() function being
added.
