The following is needed to set the bio encryption context for the
'-o inlinecrypt' case on ext4:

Thanks!  I saw that and had every intention of copying it across.
And then I forgot.  I'll add that.  I'm also going to do:

-                           __bio_try_merge_page(bio, bh->b_page, bh->b_size,
-                                       bh_offset(bh), &same_page))
+                           bio_add_page(bio, bh->b_page, bh->b_size,
+                                       bh_offset(bh)))

I wonder about allocating bios that can accommodate more bvecs.  Not sure
how often filesystems have adjacent blocks which go into non-adjacent
sub-page blocks.  It's certainly possible that a filesystem might have
a page consisting of DDhhDDDD ('D' for Data, 'h' for hole), but how
likely is it to have written the two data chunks next to each other?
Maybe with O_SYNC?

Anyway, this patchset needs some more thought because I've just seen
the path from mpage_readahead() to block_read_full_page() that should
definitely not be synchronous.
