This is a thin wrapper around bio_add_page(). The main advantage here
is the documentation that stupidly large folios are not supported.
It's not currently possible to allocate stupidly large folios, but if
it ever becomes possible, this function will fail gracefully instead of
doing I/O to the wrong bytes.
