Get callers out of poking into bvec internals a bit more.  Not a huge win
right now, but with the proposed new DMA mapping API we might end up with
a lot more of this otherwise.

Thanks for your patch!

Which suggests this is arch-specific, and may not always be defined

I think it would be good to make sure they are identical, and if
