For one bio is an I/O submitter, it has absolutely no business changing
queue flags - if we need to stick to this limitation it simply needs
a version of bio_add_page that doesn't create multi-page bvecs.

Second I don't think making it multipage bvec aware is all that hard,
and we should aim for doing the proper thing.
