In patch 1 you introduce bio_segments_all() with the log message 'So
that we can replace the direct access to .bi_vcnt.' Here you introduce a
new direct access to it (plus the duplicated WARN_ON_ONCE()).

Maybe use the helper directly here (I admit I haven't gone through the
whole series yet, so I can't see if the change is made later).

Byte,
