No, it shouldn't, will remove it in V4.

bio_for_each_segment_all_mp() is introduced for providing previous
sematics of bio_for_each_segment_all(), and there is few cases in
which bvec table need to be updated.

No, bio_for_each_segment_all_mp() should be used instead. But my plan is
to rename bio_for_each_segment_all_mp() into bio_for_each_segment_all()
and bio_for_each_segment_all_sp() into bio_for_each_page() once this
patchset is merged.

Yeah.

OK, will CC you the cover letter next time.
