This is prep work for killing bi_destructor - previously, pktcdvd had
its own pkt_bio_alloc which was basically duplication bio_kmalloc(),
necessitating its own bi_destructor implementation.

v5: Un-reorder some functions, to make the patch easier to review

Apart from bio_reset() not resetting bi_end_io and bi_private, this
looks fine to me but lack of testing makes me a bit hesitant to ack
it.

Peter doesn't want to be the maintainer of pktcdvd anymore. Maybe
Jiri can be tricked into taking this one too? :)

Gah, seems like the floppy saga is going to cause me some more trouble in
the future ... :)

Well, I definitely have hardware back at home that supports this, so I can
take it. Doesn't seem to be heavy traffic code either.

Peter, ok with that? Also, how was this usually fed upstream -- through
Jens' tree?

Yes, I am ok with that.
