[RFC 1/3] block: Introduce blk_bio_map_sg() to map one bio

From: Baolin Wang
Date: Wed May 25 2016 - 02:13:47 EST


In dm-crypt, it need to map one bio to scatterlist for improving the
hardware engine encryption efficiency. Thus this patch introduces the
blk_bio_map_sg() function to map one bio with scatterlists.
