Subject: [RFC PATCH 00/34] block: introduce bio_new()

Hi,

This is a *compile only RFC* which adds a generic helper to initialize
the various fields of the bio that is repeated all the places in
file-systems, block layer, and drivers.

The new helper allows callers to initialize non-optional members of bio
such as bdev, sector, op, opflags, max_bvecs and gfp_mask by
encapsulating new bio allocation with bio alloc with initialization
at one place.

The objective of this RFC is to only start a discussion, this it not
completely tested at all.

Subject: [RFC PATCH 02/34] block: introduce and use bio_new

Introduce bio_new() helper and use it in blk-lib.c to allocate and
initialize various non-optional or semi-optional members of the bio
along with bio allocation done with bio_alloc(). Here we also calmp the
max_bvecs for bio with BIO_MAX_PAGES before we pass to bio_alloc().
