bio: add support for inlining a number of bio_vecs inside the bio
When we go and allocate a bio for IO, we actually do two allocations. One for the bio itself, and one for the bi_io_vec that holds the actual pages we are interested in. This feature inlines a definable amount of io vecs inside the bio itself, so we eliminate the bio_vec array allocation for IO's up to a certain size. It defaults to 4 vecs, which is typically 16k of IO. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
