Oh, sure. But what annoys me: why do we have to care?

When doing I/O _all_ data is stuffed into bvecs via
bio_add_page(), and after that information about the
origin is lost; any iteration on the bio will be a bvec
iteration.
Previously we could just do a bvec iteration, get a reference
for each page, and start processing.
Now suddenly the caller has to check if it's a slab page and don't
get a reference for that. Not only that, he also has to remember
to _not_ drop the reference when he's done.
And, of course, tracing get_page() and the corresponding put_page()
calls through all the layers.
Really?

Cheers,

Hannes
