Subject: [PATCH -mm only] Pass IO size to batch_write() address space operation

Hi,

Here is the patch to pass size of the remaining IO to batch_write() 
interface.
I would like to use it ext3/ext4 to allocate in chunks. Currently its 
passing
only the size of the current buffer (in the vector entry).

Comments ? Flames ? Looks reasonable ?

Thanks,
Badari
