Just a note, we've hit some trouble with this one on pNFS SCSI.

When we re-order the update of dreq->bytes_left and
nfs_pageio_add_request(), the blocklayout driver machinery ends up with bad
calculations for LAYOUTGET on the first req.   What I see is a short
LAYOUTGET, and then a 2nd LAYOUGET for the last req with loga_length 0,
causing some havoc.

Eventually, there's a corruption somewhere - I think because
nfs_pageio_add_request() ends up doing nfs_pageio_do() in the middle of this
thing and then we race to something in completion - I haven't quite been
able to figure that part out yet.
