[RFC PATCH 11/17] block: allow __blk_queue_bounce() to handle bios larger than BIO_MAX_PAGES

From: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>

Allow __blk_queue_bounce() to handle bios with more than BIO_MAX_PAGES
segments. Doing that, it becomes possible to simplify the block layer
in the kernel.

The issue is that any code that clones the bio and must clone the biovec
(i.e. it can't use bio_clone_fast()) won't be able to allocate a bio with
more than BIO_MAX_PAGES - bio_alloc_bioset() always fails in that case.

Fortunately, it's easy to make __blk_queue_bounce() just process part of
the bio if necessary, using bi_remaining to count the splits and punting
the rest back to generic_make_request().
