I made a similar patch on Friday, investigating blk-mq plugging issue
reported by Nick. My patch sets it to BIO_MAX_PAGES unconditionally -
AFAIU there is no point in setting to anything bigger since the bios
will be clipped to that number of vecs. Given that BIO_MAX_PAGES is
256, this gives is 1M direct I/Os.
