From: Heinz Mauelshagen <hjm@xxxxxxxxxx> The existing code allocates an extra slot in bi_io_vec[] and uses it to store the region number. This patch hides the extra slot from bio_add_page() so the region number can't get overwritten. Also remove a hard-coded SECTOR_SHIFT and fix a typo in a comment.
