A lot of complexity in brd stems from the fact that it tries to handle
I/O spanning two backing pages.  Instead limit the size of a single

the now unneeded code.

Doesn't bio_for_each_segment() already limit bvecs on page boundaries?
You'd need to use bio_for_each_bvec() to get multi-page bvecs.

I think it only limit bvecs on page boundaries on the issue side, not
disk side.

For example, if user issue an IO (2k + 4k), will bio_for_each_segment()
split this IO into (2k + 2k) and (4k + 2k), I do not test yet, but I
think the answer is no.

Thanks,
