When merging one bvec into segment, if the bvec is too big to merge, current policy is to move the whole bvec into another new segment. This patchset changes the policy into trying to maximize size of front segments, that means in above situation, part of bvec is merged into current segment, and the remainder is put into next segment. This patch prepares for support multipage bvec because it can be quite common to see this case and we should try to make front segments in full size.
