Ok, I took a look at the nvme-tcp code and it seems you care about
bios because you want a contiguos bio chunk for sending it down
the networking code.  Yes, in that case we sort of need to iterate
over bios.  But you already have a special case for discard, so you
don't really need any of the magic in the bio_bvecs() helper either
can can just count bi_vcnt in the bio.
