You can find the actual multipage bvec patches in the following tree,
which is on top this prepare patchset.

	tree: https://github.com/ming1/linux.git #v4.15-rc-mp-bvec_v4-rc1
	gitweb: https://github.com/ming1/linux/commits/v4.15-rc-mp-bvec_v4-rc1

In this tree, all the current bio_for_each_segment* are converted to
bio_for_each_page*() first, then after multipage bvec is enabled, we
have the following helpers:

1) bio_for_each_segment()/bio_for_each_segment_all()
	
	iterate bio segment by segment which is real multipage bvec

2) bio_for_each_page()/bio_for_each_page_all()

	iterate bio page by page, which is the current in-tree bio_for_each_segment()/
	bio_for_each_segment_all()

3) rq_for_each_page()/rq_for_each_segment()
	similar with above


Not run full test yet, but it works on my VM, will start xfstest later.

Thanks,
Ming
