Could we make this:
/**
* __bio_try_merge_page() - Try appending data to an existing bvec.
* @bio: Destination bio.
* @page: Page to add.
* @len: Length of the data to add.
* @off: Offset of the data in @page.
*
* Try to add the data at @page + @off to the last bvec of @bio. This is

* Context: Any context.
* Return: %true on success or %false on failure.

(page, len, off) is a bit weird to me. Usually we do (page, off, len).

I really like this helper.
