Introduce bio_list_peek(), to obtain a pointer to the first bio on the bio_list
without actually removing it from the list. This is needed when you want to
serialize based on the list being empty or not.
Leaving that one (and the next one) out for now until Jens Ack them.
You can add my acked-by, this one is trivial and a good addition.
Cheers,
Ben.
