Basically speaking the raid code can't access the bvec table directly like
referencing .bi_vcnt or .bi_io_vec once multipage bvec is supported,
especially after pages are added to the bio via bio_add_page().

I am looking at the raid1 code, and maybe we can discuss a bit
about the cleanup.

No, nothing at all, and no such usage in dm code.
