Speaking of this, I took a quick look at why we've now regressed a lot
on IOPS perf with the multipage work. It looks like it's all related to
the (much) fatter setup around iteration, which is related to this very
topic too.

Basically setup of things like bio_for_each_bvec() and indexing through
nth_page() is MUCH slower than before.

We need to do something about this, it's like tossing out months of
optimizations.
