BIO_MAX_VECS is 256. So around 1MB limit with 4k pagesize. 
Any mention of why this limit for now? Is it due to code complexity that
we only support a single bio? 
As I see it, you have still enabled req merging in block layer for
atomic requests. So it can essentially submit bio chains to the device
driver? So why not support this case for user to submit a req. larger
than 1 MB?

generic_atomic_write_valid() would be better for this function. However,
I have any commented about this in some previous

bool "is_atomic" or "is_atomic_write" perhaps? 
we anyway know that we only support atomic writes and RWF_ATOMIC
operation is made -EOPNOTSUPP for reads in kiocb_set_rw_flags().
So we may as well make it "is_atomic" for bools.

ditto, bool is_atomic perhaps?
