consider this (untested), it also sets the variable i data type same
as it comparison variable in nr_segs the loop i.e. size_t :-

+       struct bio_vec *bv, *bvec_arr, *bvprvp = NULL;
+       struct request_queue *q = rq->q;
+       struct queue_limits *lim = &q->limits;
+       unsigned int nsegs = 0, bytes = 0;
+       size_t iter_count, nr_segs, i;
+       struct bio *bio;
+       int ret;

can we remove braces for iter_count >> 9 without impacting the intended
functionality?

I'd just call bvecs instead of bvec_arr, just personal preference.

you are only calling goto out_free; from loop with ret = -EINVAL.
you can remove redundant ret = -EINVAL assignment in the loop and
call return -EINVAL from the out_free: label instead return ret.
That will also allow us to remove braces in the loop.

This will also allow us to remove the ret variable on the
since I guess we are in the fast path.

why not use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for new addition?

I'm aware that blk-map.c only uses EXPORT_SYMBOL().
