Hmm, I had a vague memory that we'd agreed to call this iov_iter_length
rather than iov_iter_count in order to keep the existing naming and to
make it sound more like what it is (the length of the data) as opposed
to the number of individual buffers to be written.

Not that it is desperately important, but just to flag it up in case it
got forgotten at some stage,

Steve.
