Has this patch been tested with dm-crypt on top of a SCSI device? I'm
concerned that this patch will trigger data corruption with dm-crypt on
top because the above change will make the following dm-crypt code fail
for a sufficiently large bio:

		bio_add_page(clone, page, len, 0);

When testing dm-crypt on top of this patch series, please change the
above dm-crypt code into the following before running any tests:

		WARN_ON(bio_add_page(clone, page, len, 0) < len);

Thanks,

Bart.
