I need to test it first, perhaps tomorrow

Right, I can pick up the Nitesh's patch to that.

It's perfectly correct from the iter standpoint, AFAIK, length
and nr of segments don't have to match. Though I am surprised
it causes perf issues in the split path.

Btw, where exactly does it stumble in there? I'd assume we don't
need to do the segment correction for kbuf as the bio splitting
can do it (and probably does) in exactly the same way?
