Subject[PATCH 01/60] block: bio: introduce bio_init_with_vec_table()
Date
Some drivers often uses external bvec table, so introduce
this helper for this case. It is always safe to access the
bio->bi_io_vec in this way for this case.

After converting to this helper, it will becomes a bit easier
to evaluate the remaining direct access to bio->bi_io_vec,
so it can help to prepare for the following multipage bvec
support.
