Added, thanks Shaun.

Jens,

what do you think about renaming bi_rw?  There aren't too many users
left, and any old code that would keep using it is alsmost guranteed
to be broken, so sending a post-rc1 patch to rename it might make
everyone else life easier.  Especially as it's also grossly misnamed
now.

I was planning on doing that, after -rc1. Much better to get build
breakage, than potentially much worse breakage.
