[PATCH] bio_add_page()
This is bio_add_page(), 100% identical to the version I sent out for comments earlier this week. With the previous queue restriction patch, this guarentees that we can always add a page worth of data to the bio. bio_add_page() returns 0 on success, and 1 on failure. Either the page is added completely, or the attempt is aborted. bio_add_page() uses the normal queue restrictions to determine whether we an add the page or not. if a queue has further restrictions, it can define a q->merge_bvec_fn() to further impose limits. Patch also includes changes to ll_rw_kio(), if for nothing else to demonstrate how to use this piece of instrastructure.
