Hi all,

this series adds more block layer helpers to remove boilerplate code when
adding memory to a bio or to even do the entire synchronous I/O.

The main aim is to avoid having to convert to a struct page in the caller
when adding kernel direct mapping or vmalloc memory.

Changes since v2:
 - rebase on top of the latest block for-next branch to resolve
   conflicts with the bonuce buffering removal

Changes since v1:
 - typo fixes
 - improve commit messages and kerneldoc comments
 - move bio_add_virt_nofail out of line
 - make the number of bio_vecs calculation helper more generic
 - add another vmalloc helper for the common case
