While we are at it: in bio_map_user_iov() we have
        iov_for_each(iov, i, *iter) { 
                unsigned long uaddr = (unsigned long) iov.iov_base;
                unsigned long len = iov.iov_len;
                unsigned long end = (uaddr + len + PAGE_SIZE - 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
                unsigned long start = uaddr >> PAGE_SHIFT;

                /*
                 * Overflow, abort
                 */
                if (end < start)
                        return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);

                nr_pages += end - start;
                /*
                 * buffer must be aligned to at least hardsector size for now
                 */
                if (uaddr & queue_dma_alignment(q))
                        return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
        }

Do we only care about the iov_base alignment?  IOW, shouldn't we check for
iov_len being a multiple of queue_dma_alignment(q) as well?
