[PATCH v5 07/16] block: introduce dma map backed bio type

Message-ID <e26aefbcb383be7092dc76343ce745013e671334.1785596451.git.asml.silence@gmail.com>
Premapped buffers don't require a generic bio_vec since these have
already been dma mapped. Repurpose the bi_io_vec space to strore dmabuf
maps as they are mutually exclusive.
