I'm kind of shocked this works today. Usually bvecs coalesce adjacent
pages into a single entry, so you need to use a real iterator like
bio_for_each_folio_all() to extract individual pages from a bvec.
Maybe the sio bvec is constructed inefficiently.

I think Kent had some bvec folio iterators in progress?

Similar questions to the last patch -- who checks the error flag on this
page/folio, and isn't the folio already !uptodate?
