Why?

bio_init() is a publicly exported function, it's always been one and bcache is
ot the only driver to use it directly.

bios with > BIO_MAX_PAGES bvecs is a separate issue; I would argue that the bug
is in md's queue_limits; it uses blk_set_stacking_limits() which sets
max_segments = USHRT_MAX, which is wrong if it's going to clone the biovec.
