I'd much prefer if we would stick to the segment naming that
we also use in the higher level helper.

So segment_iter_page, segment_iter_len, etc.
We discussed the naming problem before, one big problem is that the 'segment'
in bio_for_each_segment*() means one single page segment actually.

If we use segment_iter_page() here for multi-page segment, it may
confuse people.

Of course, I prefer to the naming of segment/page, 

And Jens didn't agree to rename bio_for_each_segment*() before.
I didn't like frivolous renaming (and I still don't), but mp_
is horrible imho. Don't name these after the fact that they
are done in conjunction with supporting multipage bvecs. That
very fact will be irrelevant very soon
