Why does the crypto fallback code clone a bio instead of encrypting /
decrypting in place? If encryption and decryption would happen in place,
the crypto fallback code wouldn't have to be called from the block layer
code but instead could be called from the block driver(s) that need
encryption fallback support.

Thanks,
