Re: [patch] remove redundant iov segment check

I wonder if it wouldn't be better to make this change as part of a
larger change that moves towards an explicit iovec container struct
rather than bare 'struct iov *' and 'nr_segs' arguments.

I suspect it should be rather trivial to get this started. As a first
step we simply add a

struct iodesc {
int nr_segs;
struct iovec ioc[]
};

Agreed, does anyone plan to try this in the near future? I can always throw it at the bottom of the todo list :/.
