Correct.

bvec_off is used to keep track of the offset within the current mapping
so it's not a great idea given that you'd want to kunmap_atomic the
original address and not something with an offset. It would be nice if
this could be converted to use the sg_miter interface but that's a much
more invasive change that would require someone who knows this code and
can properly test it. I'd be very grateful if someone actually took that on.
