CHANGES SINCE LAST VERSION: Split off the "make generic_make_request() handle arbitrary size bios" - this patch series now just kills bi_destructor and reworks bio splitting. Split out the "rework bio splitting" patch based on Boaz's feedback - now I've got one patch that introduces the new bio_split() and another that rewrites bio_pair_split(), which makes the patches much more readable. Going to try and finish off the rest of the patches that get rid of merge_bvec_fn, but that'll be a separate patch series.
