That's now how bios work.  The submitter always operates on the entire
bio using the _all iterators.  bios do get split and advances, but that
only affects the bi_iter state.

In a perfect world we'd split the memory containers aspect of the bio
from the iterator, but that would be a lot of churn and we've got
bigger fish to fry.
