There are lots of direct access to .bi_vcnt & .bi_io_vec of bio, and it isn't ready to support multipage bvecs for BTRFS, so set NO_MP for these request queues.
For one bio is an I/O submitter, it has absolutely no business changing queue flags - if we need to stick to this limitation it simply needs a version of bio_add_page that doesn't create multi-page bvecs. Second I don't think making it multipage bvec aware is all that hard, and we should aim for doing the proper thing.
