Naïve question here -- if the decision to truncate the bio depends on
the file block offset, can you achieve the same thing by capping the
length of the iovec prior to iomap_dio_rw?

Granted that probably only makes sense if the LBLK IV thing is only
supposed to be used infrequently, and having to opencode a silly loop
might be more hassle than it's worth...
