bio_vec as scatterlist.

Hi Jens.

Why does bio has array of bio_vecs and not scatterlists?

There is no (or there is?) gain in memory usage, since most
if not all block device drivers will have to create a scatterlist
just to map bio_vec to hardware. Allocation of the single
scatterlist for the whole bio in driver requires to wait for
command completion, array of scatterlists eats memory, so...

Why bio_vec is not a scatterlist?
